The Tri-Cities are in a desert climate, receiving on average of 7 to 8 inches (175 to 200 mm) of rain every year. Winds periodically exceed 30 mph (48 km/h) when Chinook wind conditions exist. There are 300 days of sunshine every year. Temperatures range from as low as 10 °F (-12 °C) in the winter to as high as 110 (43 °C) in the summer, and even reached 115 °F in July 2006. The region receives occasional snow most years. Due to the desert climate and subsequent large amounts of sand, a perpetual annoyance to residents is the amount of dust blown about by the frequent winds.

The Tri-Cities economy has historically been based on farming and the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. From Pasco's incorporation in 1891 on, the Tri-Cities have had a large degree of farming thanks to the excellent soil. Irrigation is made easy by the three nearby rivers. Wheat is easily the most commonly grown product; ... large amounts of apples and grapes are also grown, along with potatoes and other products. The area is well known for its fine wines.
