Warmer December, lack of snow compound drought concerns for Kamloops region
KAMLOOPS – It’s been an unseasonably warm December in Kamloops. According to Environment Canada, despite some precipitation over the last few days and plenty of rain between the Interior and the coast, the region is looking much dryer than it has in previous years.
“In general terms, we’re not seeing a tremendous amount of moisture getting into the Interior. It’s really just a pop of flurries or showers that we’re seeing more than anything else at this point in time,” said Brian Proctor, meteorologist for Environment Canada.
“It really is active on the coast, a little bit less active over the Interior and fairly reasonable weather for people who are trying to get out and about at this point in time.”
