More sunshine in Kamloops this week

KAMLOOPS – The sunshine and mild daytime temperatures are forecast to continue in Kamloops this week.

Environment Canada meteorologist Bobby Sekhon says a ridge of high pressure is "holding strong," and expected to last all week and into next weekend. A slight disturbance passing through the area mid-week will have little effect on the weather in Kamloops.

Daytime highs are expected to be a few degrees above normal for this time of year.

The forecast calls for sunshine today, Oct. 15, with a high of 16 Celsius and a low overnight of 0 C with patchy frost.

More sunshine is expected tomorrow with a high of around 17 C and a low overnight of 2 C. 

Expect a mix of sun and cloud for Wednesday through to Saturday with highs of about 15 C.

Normal temperatures this time of year in Kamloops are highs of 13 C and lows of 3 C.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
