The changing seasons

The Cariboo and Chilcotin areas are characterized by warm summers that are prone to dry spells - with temperatures becoming milder as you travel north. June through August are the peak summer months. September and October are autumn months with snow starting to fall anytime after mid-November. Most snow has melted by early April with April and May being spring months.

Precipitation and snow

The Coast is mild throughout the year with considerable rain from October through February. The months between May and August are the warmest and driest. Due to mild ocean currents land near sea level does not receive much snowfall in the winter, with most snowfall taking place up in the mountains.
