Spokane's UV index varies seasonally, with higher values in summer, often reaching moderate to high levels around June and July, and lower values in winter, typically staying low due to less sunlight. Spokane experiences four distinct seasons: cold, snowy winters; warm, dry summers; mild spring with increasing sunshine; and cool, colorful autumn with decreasing daylight. Compared to the Pacific Northwest, Spokane is drier and sunnier due to its location east of the Cascades. It is cooler and less rainy than nearby cities like Seattle but warmer and less snowy than many parts of northern Idaho and eastern Washington.
