I am living in Kamloops. We are actually the most sunniest city in BC - with over 2,000 hours of sunshine annually. My husband is a real estate agent and many of his clients are people from lower main land and Alberta. They were all very surprise how nice the weather is in Kamloops. We usually have a few cold days in the winter (-10 to -20) but it only last a week and so. And since it is a dry cold (like the cold in northern China) not a humid cold, it feels less cold!
