  1. Moment of truth. No rain for ~2 months, and this afternoon they predict 80% chance of rain. Will it actually rain and help the fight against the wildfires? I wouldn't mind if it also took the smoke out of the air. #Okanagan #BC #Wildfires

  9. Red sky at night, red sky in the morning, not certain what it used to mean. One of them was a sailor's delight.

    But nowadays it means I'm in the middle of forest wildfire season and the sky is full of smoke.

    • rain in June 2026: 21.3 mm
    • rain in July 2026: 0.5 mm
    • rain in August 2026: 0.0 mm

    (0.5 mm is approximately the thickness of a business card or a guitar pick.)

    I suspect the 60% chance of rain in the forecast for next weekend will change to 0% in the next few days.

  35. We've been at "stage 3" water restrictions for a while now due to the hot, dry weather. No rain for several months.

    My lawn is dried up yellow grass. It sounds like rice krispies when I walk on it.

    Only good thing is I don't have to mow. And presumably my water bill will be much lower at the end of summer. #Okanagan #WestKelowna
