Climate chart - Pasco
The climate of Pasco is arid continental, with cold, relatively rainy winters and hot, sunny summers.
The city is part, together with Kennewick and Richland, of the so-called Tri-Cities, three cities connected to each other at the confluence of the Yakima, Snake and Columbia rivers. We are in the eastern part of the state of Washington. Since we are practically at sea level and far from the ocean, this is one of the driest areas of the state, and one of the hottest in summer.

In winter, sometimes even in November, cold waves are possible, during which the temperature can drop to -20 °C (-4 °F) or even below. The temperature dropped to -24 °C (-11 °F) in November 1985, -22.7 °C (-9 °F) in December 1990, -26.7 °C (-16 °F) in December 1996, -28.3 °C (-19 °F) in January 2004, and -23 °C (-9.5 °F) in December 2016.
Snowfall is quite frequent, but generally not abundant. On average, only 15 cm (6 in) of snow fall per year.

In summer, there are several very hot days. On the hottest days of the year, the temperature generally reaches 39/40 °C (102/104 °F), but sometimes even higher. During the exceptional heat wave of late June 2021, it reached 46 (115 °F). In August 1961, at the nearby Ice Harbor Dam, a dam on the Snake River, the highest record of Washington state was set with 48 °C (118 °F).
