The Treasure Valley is known as "Idaho's Banana Belt". The average temperature is 64.4 degrees, and average annual precipitation is 11.7 inches. Beautiful spring weather is heralded by blossoms on fruit trees and warm breezes. Though temperatures may soar on summer days, the warmth is not unpleasant because of low humidity. "Indian summer" takes on a new meaning in the fall, when residents pick apples and watch ducks and geese fly to their winter home at nearby Deer Flat National Game Refuge. By December, snow may fall but blizzards are rare. Nampa's average annual windspeed is only nine MPH. Winters are mild, with average January temperature of 37 degrees. There's plenty of snow for snowmobiling or building a snowman, but not enough to hamper driving conditions.
