May 28 - June 3, 2025: dry, windy, 100°F on May 31--only two 100°F days ever recorded  in May in Boise's weather records; little signigicant rain in weeks and rainfall often stops in mid-June each year until later in August or early Sept.. There may be a very bad wildland fire season in the West, compounded by dramatic Federal employee layoffs earlier this year. On Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025, there were 204 active wildfires burning in Canada. This number included 106 fires that were considered "out of control". Canadian fires are creating dangerous air quality conditions in large parts of central and eastern US locations. The first wildland grass fire occurred last week in the lower Boise basin.  Gardens need daily watering. Cool mornings but afternoon winds are drying soils out. Pollen counts remain high as trees and grass produce pollen in the warm, dry weather, winds kicking up the dust. Upper Boise River basin reservoirs currently are approaching full, and some snowpack remains in upper elevations.
