BOISE, ID
– Big winter news is on the way for Boise, Idaho! The Old Farmer’s Almanac has issued its seasonal forecast, hinting at a snowier season than last year. While other regions might experience dry conditions, Boise residents should get ready to bundle up and brace for plenty of snow.
The Science Behind Long-Range Forecasts
Unlike the usual week-by-week weather reports, the Old Farmer’s Almanac dives into seasonal trends, drawing from data to create long-term forecasts. These forecasts may not pinpoint daily weather, but they provide a solid picture of the months ahead.
How Does the Almanac Predict Winter Weather?
The Old Farmer’s Almanac uses a blend of old-school methods and modern technology, based on three core disciplines:
-
Solar Science:
Tracking sunspots and solar cycles. -
Climatology:
Examining larger weather trends over time. -
Meteorology:
Observing atmospheric conditions.
By combining these areas, the Almanac uses solar activity and past weather data from 1991 to 2020 to make educated predictions about seasonal shifts.
Snow Lovers, Get Ready!
It looks like Boise is in for a snowy season, with average to above-average snowfall expected. The main snow events are predicted to arrive around mid-November, early January, late January, and mid-March. So whether you’re a fan of skiing, snowboarding, or just a good old snowball fight, these are the dates to watch.
What About Temperatures?
Although the snow forecast is high, temperatures should remain surprisingly mild. Boise can expect above-average temperatures for most of the winter, with the coldest days likely falling in late November and late January. So, you might still need your winter coat, but no need to brace for bitter cold.
What’s Driving This Year’s Weather?
Right now, we’re at the height of Solar Cycle 25, which means the sun is more active. While active solar cycles used to indicate warmer winters, recent years have shown a weakening in this connection. Still, the Almanac is factoring in this solar peak in its winter projections.
Oceanic cycles like El Niño and La Niña are also at play. This year, we’re likely to experience a neutral phase, with hints of La Niña. Conditions in the Pacific and Atlantic are also under watch as they could impact precipitation and temperatures across the U.S.
Prepare for a Snowy, Mild Winter!
With a mix of snow and milder temperatures, Boise residents have an exciting winter to anticipate. Keep track of those snowy dates, and be sure you’re ready for a season full of fun winter weather activities!
