According to the calendar it’s the first day of summer in the Cariboo but the weather doesn’t make it feel that way.
Environment Canada Meteorologist Matt Loney said there are showers in the forecast today (June 20) 5 to 10 millimetres, with risk of a thunderstorm.
Loney said temperatures will cool off as this upper disturbance moves into the region as well which is counter to what we would expect them to be at this time of year.
With the first weekend of Summer just ahead, we asked loney if it will be more seasonal.
“Tomorrow things start to dry out a little bit as this disturbance starts to exit the region so we’ll see some showers in the morning improving by the afternoon hours with temperatures near normal. Sunday looks like a decent day as a weak ridge of high pressure builds in bringing temperatures to right around normal with the potential of a slight chance of a shower as some instability might still remain in the area.”
Looking at the first week of Summer Loney said a ridge of high pressure will build in beginning the first part of the week.
“For the most part it’s going to be nice. Temperatures will be just a bit above normal for the start of the week and skies should remain mostly sunny at least til Tuesday.”
