Shelter Alert

Extreme Weather Alert issued for Kamloops shelters with chilly, breezy night ahead

Nov 28, 2025 | 3:37 PM

KAMLOOPS — A chilly overnight forecast has prompted an Extreme Weather Alert (EWA) to be issued for Kamloops Friday (Nov. 28).

Under provincial legislation, such an alert can be issued when the temperature is forecast to drop to -5 C or colder including wind chill or five centimetres of snow or more is predicted to fall.

While Environment Canada is forecasting an overnight low of -3 C for Kamloops, the gusty wind may push that lower with wind chill factored in.

The alert means police officers in the city will be authorized to assist people who are determined to be at risk to warm shelters.
