Kelowna is well known for its hot summers and temperate winters, another factor that people love to come and visit here. In fact, during the winter of 1983 was the last time that the lake completely froze over. Very high hours per day sunshine, combined with very low average precipitation have caused the area to be classed as semi-arid. Ground cactus is common on the lower mountainsides in the valley but modern irrigation keeps parks, orchards and golf courses green.

The average daytime high during July and August is 80 F/27.40 C. The average daytime high during December and January is 26 F/ -0.30 C. The average low is 19 F/-7.70 C. Kelowna receives over 2,000 hours of sunshine annually and 28 cm. (11 inches) of rain. Total annual precipitation is 366.4 mm. (280.7 mm. of rain and 105.5 cm. of snow).
