Cariboo Chilcotin residents should expect to see cooler weather and a wet start to November.
But, according to Environment Canada Meteorologist Bobby Sekhon, that’s pretty normal for this Cariboo season.
“We’re seeing a bit of a cool down, but really that’s just down to seasonal norms,” Sekhon tells Vista Radio.
Sekhon said that through the first week of November, there will be highs of around seven degrees, with mainly cloudy days with bits of sun. In the evenings, things are expected to cool down to near-freezing temperatures.
“That will persist right through to mid-next week,” says Sekhon. “We do have another system coming through that could potentially bring more showers and wind. That is something we are tracking through next week as well.”
The current weather forecast from Environment Canada is showing mainly cloudy, mixed with sunny days. The warmest temperature is over Quesnel on Sunday with a high of eight degrees.
Sunday over Williams Lake and 100 Mile House is expected to be cooler with a high of five throughout the day. Lows of minus two in Quesnel and the Lake City with some showers, and cooler with lows of minus five Sunday night in 100 Mile.
Throughout the week, the average temperature over Quesnel and Williams Lake is predicted to be between six and seven degrees, and cloudy and sunny. Showers are predicted to roll through near the middle and end of next week.
The nightly lows are predicted to drop to around minus 2 or 3, with clear night skies.
In 100 Mile House, things are looking cooler than its neighbours in the north. Highs to only plus two or plus three on Monday and Tuesday. But looking to warm up on Wednesday with an average of plus seven. The lowest temperature is predicted to come on Monday night with a low of minus seven.
Environment Canada’s forecasts show some rain Wednesday night through Thursday right across the Cariboo.
