June was warmer-than-normal across the Thompson-Okanagan, very dry in the Okanagan

  • During June, the Thompson-Okanagan experienced a warmer-than-normal month with less than 30% of typical rainfall across communities like Kelowna, Vernon, and Penticton.
  • Amid these conditions, absence of major weather systems and forecast of continued dryness suggest July will remain dry with scattered thunderstorms, says meteorologist Loney.
  • Data show Kelowna's mean temperature was 19.6°C, above normal, with Vernon and Penticton receiving only 27.9% and 37% of typical rainfall, respectively.
  • The drought forecast is expected to rise, with potential heat warnings and increased fire danger due to lightning-driven risks.
  • Environment Canada forecasts continued sunshine with highs of 31°–35°C through July 9, with temperatures exceeding 30°C by the weekend, extending ongoing dry conditions.
