Meridian Forecast, New Wind Farm Tax, and Upcoming Community Events
In Meridian, Idaho, as of February 26, 2025, the day is off to a pleasant start with sunny weather and clear skies, a welcome change from the cloudy days earlier in the week. The temperature is expected to reach a high of 59°F and dip to 32°F at night, making it a great day to get outdoors.
For those planning their day, the air quality in Meridian is currently in good shape, with fine particulate matter (PM2.5) levels within acceptable limits, according to the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality and Air Now - US EPA[4].
If you're concerned about allergies, the pollen count is relatively low at this time of year. While specific counts for February are not available, the late fall season saw low to moderate pollen levels, primarily from sage and chenopod plants[3].
On the legislative front, Idaho is making headlines with a new excise tax bill that could significantly impact wind farm projects. Introduced by Rep. Charlie Shepherd, the bill requires counties to obtain voter approval for wind farms and imposes excise taxes if projects are rejected. This development is set to go before the House Revenue and Taxation Committee for a full public hearing[1].
Locally, residents are gearing up for several exciting events. Although the 2025 McCall Winter Carnival, which took place from February 21-23, has concluded, it brought over 60,000 visitors to enjoy live music, parades, dog sledding, and impressive ice sculptures[5].
Closer to home, the South Meridian Market, which connects consumers directly with local producers, will resume in April on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month. This vibrant marketplace offers healthy foods, handcrafted items, and a lively atmosphere with live music and entertainment[5].
For art enthusiasts, the 2nd Annual Meridian Fine Art Festival is on the horizon, featuring over 150 vendors from Idaho and the Northwest. This event, set to take place at Julius M Kleiner Park, will showcase local talent, offer unique handmade gifts, and provide a diverse range of local art and crafts[5].
While high school sports scores for the past 24 hours are not readily available, the community remains active and engaged in various local activities, making Meridian a dynamic and vibrant place to live.
