  The benches above the lake go white and pink for a few weeks as the cherries and apples come out, ahead of the vines. A late frost in this window is what decides whether there is any fruit in July. Quelle ↗

  The lake takes until late June to warm up and holds it into early September, which is exactly when the city fills with people from Vancouver and Calgary. Beach parking downtown is gone by ten.

  Cherry and stone fruit harvest

  1. Juli – 10. Sep. · meist

  Cherries first in July, then peaches and apricots through August at the roadside stands on the way out to Kelowna's east bench. Late-season Lapins and Staccatos are the reason the valley exports in August rather than June. Quelle ↗

  Wildfire smoke season

  10. Juli – 15. Sep. · meist

  The Okanagan is one of the driest, most fire-prone valleys in Canada, and smoke from interior fires — some of them on the hills above the city — can sit in it for a week at a time. Evacuation alerts in the hillside suburbs are not unusual. Quelle ↗

  Wine harvest

  Picking and crush run through September and October and the wineries along the Naramata and Lakeshore roads are working rather than posing, which is the better time to visit them. Tasting rooms shorten their hours from November. Quelle ↗

  Valley inversion fog

  Cold air pools on the lake and the whole floor of the valley greys over for days, which delays flights into the small airport more than any other weather here. Drive up to the ski hill and you come out into sun.

  An hour up the hill from the airport, opening around American Thanksgiving and running to early April, with the snow-ghost trees that the place is known for. The mountain sits above the valley cloud more often than not. Quelle ↗
