Reviewing 1991 to 2020 climatology normals for temperature, precipitation, and daylight.
Annual climate rhythms for Payette National Forest are detailed through monthly averages for temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind, and daylight hours. Derived from 1991 to 2020 NASA POWER measurements at a representative 1678 meter elevation, the dataset provides a consistent long-term atmospheric perspective. These normals distinguish seasonal expectations from current weather patterns, serving as a baseline for understanding the environmental conditions within this protected landscape in Idaho.
