- …shimmering rainbows to the east in late June
The combination of the northerly position of the setting sun during the summer time, late afternoon storm clouds and the sun dropping below the mountainous horizon far below the interior plateau’s horizon makes for some breathtaking sunsets that glow neon colours for those lucky enough to be at the lake.
The rain and cooler temperatures in June slowed down the growing season for some local gardeners but the recent hot spell in July has many gardens flourishing, finally.
Residents and visitors may still be rewarded with astounding sunsets as clouds often form in the summer afternoons through evaporation from the south Cariboo’s many lakes and wetlands.
