Clear and frosty Halloween in the forecast for Kamloops, Okanagan

While there is no rain or snow in this year's Halloween forecast, it looks like it will be a frosty evening for trick or treaters in Kamloops and the Okanagan.

Costumes for those going door to door looking for treats may need a coat and a toque with clear skies expected to bring an extra chill to nighttime temperatures.

An arctic front that arrived in the region yesterday, Oct. 28, brought record-setting cold but temperatures are expected to moderate as the week progresses.

The forecast for Halloween calls for a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 7 Celsius for Kamloops, with overnight lows expected to drop to -2 C under clear skies.

For Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton, Halloween should also be clear and cool with a daytime high of 6 C dropping to -4 C overnight.

Environment Canada meteorologist Bobby Sekhon says there’s not much chance of Halloween snow.

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.
