Okanagan drought rating raised to Level 3
Description
September 15, 2025
A lack of rain and continuing high temperatures have resulted in the Okanagan drought rating to be increased once again. A local First Nation says the ranking system doesn't accurately reflect the local conditions and a better job could be done to manage the situation.
