Spring-like weather

Congratulations Okanagan, it looks like we survived another winter.

After several months of frigid temperatures and lots of snow, the sun has returned and the mercury is rising.

Environment Canada is calling for sunny skies today with a mix of sun and cloud for the rest of the week.

But really good news is the mercury will keep on rising as the week wears on.

It is expected to reach 7 C today, but by the middle of the week the temperature is expected to climb to a balmy 14 C.

Even night time temperatures are becoming more bearable with the lows of just 3 C predicted in the coming days.

According to the Farmer's Almanac, the long-term forecast is for mild weather through March.

There will be some storms, but in general the almanac is calling for “spring-like weather” from the 15th to the end of the month.

Similar weather is predicted for April as well.
