KAMLOOPS — Kamloops may have felt cooler and wetter in the month of May, but it was a return to normal climatology. Preliminary numbers provided by Environment Canada show Kamloops received 25.7 millimetres of precipitation, which is close to the normal 27.6 millimetres. The average temperature for May was 14.6 degrees Celsius, slightly cooler than the normal 15 degrees.
Both May precipitation and temperature numbers were abnormal in 2023, with Environment Canada recording 20 millimetres and an average 17.9 degrees in Kamloops.
Speaking to CFJC Today on Sunday (June 2), Philippe-Alain Bergeron, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, says a late-season atmospheric river in the lower mainland will bring light to moderate rainfall across the Kamloops area and southern interior over the next few days. Although a dramatic pattern change is expected mid-week.
Kamloops Experiences Normal May Conditions
In comparison to last year, where May brought abnormal precipitation and temperature numbers to Kamloops, this year saw a return to more typical conditions. The precipitation levels were close to the normal average, with 25.7 millimetres falling in the region. Similarly, the average temperature of 14.6 degrees Celsius was only slightly cooler than the usual 15 degrees.
Warmer and Drier Conditions En Route
Looking ahead, Environment Canada forecasts a shift towards warmer and drier conditions in Kamloops. The late-season atmospheric river that brought some rainfall is expected to give way to a more stable weather pattern, with higher temperatures and lower chances of precipitation. This change in weather patterns indicates a shift towards a more summer-like climate in the region.
As Philippe-Alain Bergeron mentioned, the southern interior, including Kamloops, can expect light to moderate rainfall in the coming days before the weather pattern changes. This transition to warmer and drier conditions aligns with the typical weather patterns for this time of year in Kamloops.
Overall, while May may have felt cooler and wetter than usual in Kamloops, the numbers suggest a return to normal climatology for the region. With warmer and drier conditions on the horizon, residents can look forward to a more summery weather experience in the coming weeks.
