From December through February, expect cold, wet weather in the city. High temperatures average in the 30s and low 40s with many days barely breaking the freezing mark.

From March to May, you can expect chilly days and rain. Spring temperatures warm from the low 50s in March to the high 60s in May. Low temperatures start at near 30 degrees in March and top out in the mid-40s in May. Expect rain a few days a week, but in small amounts. Tourist amounts increase a little in springtime which causes a slight increase in hotel rates.
The area rings in springtime with the Lilac Festival in May. For over 80 years, locals and visitors have gathered to celebrate the newness and blooming beauty of spring. The festival's mission statement is “Honoring our military, recognizing our youth, and showcasing our region.” You will see these aspects in the parade, garden tours, live entertainment, and food.
Summer months in Spokane Valley are pleasant and busy. Daytime temperatures are comfortable, with highs in the mid-70s in June and the mid-80s in July and August. Low temperatures stay in the 50s during the summer months, making mornings and late nights a little chilly. Precipitation tapers off during July and August, giving these months the highest visitor numbers. Expect higher hotel rates, limited availability, and higher fares during July and August especially.
Check out one of the Pacific Northwest's premier art celebrations at ArtFest, held the first weekend in June. Dozens of artisans showcase their glass, ceramic, jewelry, wood, and fine art over three days. There are ample food booths and many live music performances. Combine that with interactive exhibits and demonstrations for the kids, and you can't miss it.
Autumn brings crisp temperatures and the return of rain. High temperatures fall from the mid-70s in September to the mid-40s by November. Low temperatures fall from the mid -40s to the 30s by fall's end. Expect rain or snow one to two days a week and windier conditions. Traveler numbers decrease, allowing you to score better deals on hotels throughout the fall months.
