Climate chart - Ephrata
The climate of Ephrata is arid continental, with very cold, relatively rainy winters and hot, sunny summers.
The town is located in the central part of the state of Washington, at almost 400 meters (1,300 ft) above sea level, in an area where the waters of the Columbia River are used to irrigate an otherwise very arid ground.
During the winter, sometimes as early as in mid-November, cold spells can occur, in which the temperature drops to -20 °C (-4 °F) or below. The temperature dropped to -31 °C (-24 °F) in January 1950, and to -28.5 °C (-19.5 °F) in February 1985 and in February 1996.
Snowfalls are quite frequent, but generally not abundant. On average, 47 cm (18.5 in) of snow fall per year, which given the cold winter it's not much.
In summer, very hot days can occur, when the temperature can reach 40 °C (104 °F). During the exceptional heat wave of late June 2021, the temperature reached 47 °C (116 °F).
The average temperature of the coldest months (January, December) is of -1.3 °C (29.6 °F), that of the warmest month (July) is of 24.1 °C (75.3 °F). Here are the average temperatures.
