We are waking up to a beautiful sunny morning with the current temperature at 9°C with light winds. The UV index is at 0 and expected to reach 9 today, so be sure to pack the sunscreen if you are going outdoors. The pollen index is moderate.

Wesla English's daily forecast: "Hot and sunny conditions will persist in Kelowna when an upper ridge stays over Southern BC the next few days. Don’t forget to stay hydrated as we are expecting daytime highs over 30°C through the forecast period!" says Wesla.

B.C. is entering the dry season, which means it could be a while before we get any significant rainfall.

It isn’t good news for fire danger risk in the Province as temperatures rise. Local meteorologist Wesla English says that looking at data from the weather station at UBCO, no precipitation was recorded last summer between June 29 August 9.

A long period of dry weather combined with hot temperatures could spell trouble heading into wildfire season, so the public should be extra vigilant this summer when enjoying the outdoors.

After last summer’s unprecedented wildfire season, the Province has put some tougher rules and fines in place.
