It probably would be just west of Boise, like Payette. Boise to Twin Falls is typically a few degree cooler but still part of the warmest broad region (hence the biggest concentration of people and agriculture), with much of the rest of the state considerably cooler and snowier. For absolute warmest it might be Riggins or maybe a low spot near Nevada border but few live at either. If you want warmest and least snow, mostly look close to Boise.
If you can adjust your comfort zone / tolerance level then maybe look at CDA or Pocatello. The adjustment in these spots is more about snow than temperature but there is a notable difference in both, especially to those sensitive about them. I almost forgot Lewiston which is kinda similar in climate to Boise.

Yup.
I think Weiser is the warmest town in the state. Any time I was hot in Boise, I was hotter in Weiser, and i've sweated plenty from one end of this state to the other. Even Lewiston at sea level doesn't get hotter than Weiser in mid-summer.
But there's a greater question to be asked here...
Why are you looking at Idaho, RMP500, if you want to move to a warm state?
Idaho is NOT a warm state. January in Weiser is still all kinds of cold, and our kind of cold isn't found in California, at least not where lots of people live. Overcoats are not a fashion accessory in this state, even in mid-July.
If warm is a really big deal, I suggest looking eastward to find it if you have already ruled out the obvious places in the west.
If you can't stand the cold, there are better places for you than here. But if you think you can, then come up and look us over. Most who end up moving here think the trade-off is well worth the price of an overcoat and cold feet once in a while.
Warmest in winter--wouldn't that be Lewiston? We've had a ton of threads about that, stink and all . Pretty warm in summer, too, I can at least weigh in on that!
I vote for Lewiston.
The secret to get away from the smell is to live up hill...in a community called The Orchards. But you still have to shop.
The mill is the biggest employer, as is the Port of Lewiston.
West Treasure Valley always seems a few degrees hotter than Boise.. Lewiston is a tiny town, better weather or not, it is a lot harder of a place to make a living. I lived in Pullman for a couple years and know that area can get pretty brutal in the winters depending on the year. Lewiston is more mild than Pullman/Moscow, but still can be frosty.
The Treasure Valley hardly got any snow this winter. I find the Treasure Valley winters warmer than in the Western Cascades due to it being so dry, even if it is a few degrees colder.. But you will needs loads of chap stick.
I'll echo others. Lewiston is the warmest, and rarely gets snow. Usually 5-8 degrees warmer than Pullman/Moscow. With a population of about 40k, it also good sized for Idaho.

That's just not right for this time in October. It makes me worry when the ground hasn't frozen some by now.
