Dawson Creek, British Columbia is in for a stretch of quiet, warm weather this week as forecasts call for mainly clear skies and rising temperatures through Thursday. Environment Canada reports sunny conditions at the local airport this morning, with a current temperature of 18 C and east-northeast winds gusting to 30 km/h.
Today’s high is expected to reach 19 C, with an overnight low of 7 C, according to The Weather Network. There is a 30 per cent chance of precipitation and no weather alerts are in effect for the area.
Winds could be a factor early in the week. Gusts up to 40 km/h were recorded on Sunday, and today’s breeze may gust to 30 km/h before easing as a high-pressure system settles over the Peace River Country. By Thursday, the daytime high is forecast to climb to 24 C, well above the average June high of just over 20 C for Dawson Creek.
Looking further ahead, the extended outlook suggests the mild and mostly dry pattern could hold into next weekend, giving residents a good opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities. The long daylight hours typical for this time of year—sunrise was at 4:24 a.m. and sunset at 9:33 p.m. today—mean even more time to take advantage of the pleasant conditions.
