June 11 in Boise

Weather forecasts run out after about two weeks. For any date further out than that, the honest answer isn't a single number — it's the range Boise actually delivers on this date, and how often.

On June 11, Boise, ID typically reaches 81°F, but has run anywhere from 67°F to 93°F in eight years out of ten. About 79% of June 11s see no measurable precipitation.

This date is moving

Highs around June 11 have warmed about 0.5°F per decade since 1970 — roughly 3.0°F across the record. The figures above are shifted along that trend to 2026, so they describe today's climate rather than the average of the last 56 years.

Where this comes from: 855 daily observations from BOISE AIR TERMINAL, covering 19702026. We pool every day within 7 days of June 11 — a single calendar date has only about 56 readings, far too few to place a 10th percentile you'd want to trust.

Why it's not a plain average: A climatology computed straight across 19702026 describes the middle of that period, not today, so as a statement about the present it runs cold. We fit a trend on year and shift each observation to 2026 before taking the range. The probabilities use the last 30 years instead — shifting a temperature along a trend is well defined, shifting “did it rain” is not.

What this is not: Not a forecast. It is what Boise, ID has actually done on this date, which is the only defensible answer once you're past the two-week horizon where real forecasts stop. Data: NOAA NCEI GHCN-Daily.
