Forecast

The barometric pressure in West Kelowna varies constantly. It can change suddenly due to the city's unique location. Weather systems from the Pacific Ocean influence the pressure.

West Kelowna is situated in the Okanagan Valley. The valley is surrounded by mountains, including Mount Boucherie and Westbank Plateau. These natural barriers affect the airflow. They can trap or deflect air masses, leading to changes in pressure. As a result, the city's weather can be quite unpredictable.

The terrain also influences the temperature and precipitation. The valley's orientation allows cold air from the north to settle in winter. This leads to cold temperatures and occasional snowfall. In summer, the valley traps warm air, making it hot and dry. The surrounding mountains force air to rise, resulting in occasional thunderstorms.
