Will September bring summer weather to Kamloops?

Sep 1, 2016 | 4:57 PM

KAMLOOPS — The summer – as marked by Environment Canada – is over.

The forecasting agency marks summer as June, July and August.

Forecaster Armel Castellan says the summer may have been a cloudy one, but temperatures and precipitation levels weren’t out of line from what we can typically expect.

The month that just wrapped up was the 14th warmest August on record, but that was the only notable reading throughout the summer.

Castellan says the upper low that typically hangs around Kamloops in May and June stuck through most of July as well.

“We unfortunately dealt with a cut-off low that was kind of giving us one (cloudy system) after the next there in the second half of June, and the first bit of July. That kind of put the damper on summer,” explained Castellan.

Castellan says La Nina will likely move in to bring Kamloops cooler temperatures and more moisture than normal – but that won’t hit until December.

“It doesn’t materialize until really the winter months, December onward. With that will come cooler temperatures, by a little bit, and then wetter statistics. This is something that doesn’t necessarily have a signal in the fall period, so for the fall we are looking at is slightly above normal temperatures – and really no signal when it comes to precipitation.”
