“June in the Cariboo was a pretty normal month.”
That from Environment Canada Meteorologist Brian Proctor.
He said the mean temperature for the month for Quesnel was 15.3 degrees and normally it’s 14.7.
“Precipitation wise, Quesnel record 32.7 millimetres that month and the normal is 63.3 which means the area received about 51.7 percent of normal rainfall making it the 28th driest June in the period of record going back to 1893.
Proctor said June was very similar for Williams Lake.
“It was maybe a little bit warmer. Williams Lake was 14.6 degrees and normal is 13.4 making it the 13th warmest and for precipitation 48.4 millimetres of rain was reported at the airport. Normal for Williams Lake is 65.9 so about 73.5 percent making it the 29th driest going back to 1961.”
As we move towards the weekend Proctor said there’s a slight chance of showers in the forecast for the region.
“By the time we get to Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, temperatures will be in the 27 to 29 degree mark and I wouldn’t be surprised by Wednesday onward to see it rise up to the 30’s. Typically this time of year we will see normal daytime highs of 23 and overnight lows of about 9 but it’s not a-typical for us to see substantially warmer temperatures than that. From a heat point of view, July and August are the peak heat months in the Cariboo-Chilcotin.”
