A fellow I know in town posted this earlier on Monday:
RAIN AT LAST
This is the first day in Kaslo that we have had rain since July 10th and the first day since July 22nd that the temperature will not exceed 30 degrees.
The average high in July was 33.5 and that for August so far 33.9, with a mean daily temperature of 23.3 in July and 24.3 so far in August.
We are also hoping that the smoke, that has not allowed us to see across Kootenay Lake for the last few days, will dissipate, but I see there are eleven new fires along the west side of Kootenay Lake including an evacuation alert at Kokanee Creek along Highway 31 to Nelson.
Yes, for all of Monday, the temperature didn't go above +18C. That's lower than the temperature has been most nights for the past couple of weeks.
We have had some showers, but nothing substantial. Cloud and some fog and enough precipitation to dampen down the dust and cool things down a bit.
Overnight on Monday, it dropped to +12C. That's almost like fall temperatures, and it was cool in the morning, allowing me to go work in the woods for awhile and not feel like I was dying.
The smoke, though, is still here. We still can't really see across the Lake, which is only a mile away.
Sunday, we decided we needed to get away, so we drove over to the Slocan Valley and camped at Slocan City. It was almost cold that night. Biked for a couple of hours on the Slocan Valley Rail Trail. No smoke, cool and fresh after the rain Sunday night. It was a nice break.
