The Kootenays should again see a warmer-than-typical fall. Environment Canada meteorologist Matt Loney said the forecast for September shows a probability of higher-than-normal temperatures for most of southern B.C. “There was also the suggestion of a slightly higher likelihood for above-normal precipitation for southern portions of B.C., which include the Kootenays. But overall, it looks like a warmer and drier trend for the fall season,” he said. Late November, early December and early February are expected to be the coldest periods.
