The Sunny Okanagan and Kootenays have long warm summers and milder shorter winters. The Cariboo central & northern regions of the province experience the contrast of all four seasons, with cooler wetter springs, short hot summers, a crisp & foggy fall that turns into 4-5 months of snow and below freezing temperatures.
