Sunny week in store for the Okanagan

OKANAGAN – The sunshine and mild temperatures are forecast to continue in the Okanagan this week.

Environment Canada meteorologist Bobby Sekhon says a ridge of high pressure will dominate the Okanagan weather pattern for at least the next week, bringing mostly sunny skies and above normal temperatures for this time of year.

The forecast calls for sunny skies today, Oct. 15, with a high of 15 Celsius and a low tonight of 1 C.

Tomorrow is expected to be much the same with sunshine and a high of 16 C. The mercury will drop to 1 C overnight.

For Wednesday through to Saturday, the weather office is predicting a mix of sun and cloud each day with daytime highs of around 15 C and overnight lows a few degrees above the freezing mark.

Normal temperatures for this time of year in the Okanagan are highs of 12 C and lows of 2 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.
