Be sure to clean that patio furniture now in case you have unexpected guests drop in.

This might be the ideal day to hose down the deck and wicker furniture if you haven't already.

Environment Canada is calling for a gorgeous week of sun and temperatures near 28 C for the Okanagan Valley through Thursday.

Today's high is expected to be 22 C, perfect for some outside work. The UV Index should be very high, forecast calls for 8.

The normals for this time of year are 21 C for a high and 8 C for the overnight low.

Predictions are fine, but if you recall from last week's forecast, things can change quickly over the mountains so it's always wise to prepare for all kinds of weather if you're heading out for a hike.
