VancouverNews – June snow is in the forecast for B.C. Interior highway passes, a rare weather event that has prompted DriveBC to issue warnings for travelers. The unexpected snowfall is expected to affect key routes, including the Okanagan Connector and other high-elevation passes, as a cold front moves through the region.
DriveBC Shares Update
DriveBC shared an image from a highway camera on the Okanagan Connector on May 18, 2025, to the social media platform X, highlighting the unusual conditions. The agency advises drivers to prepare for winter driving conditions, including reduced visibility and slippery roads, despite it being early summer.
Weather Details
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the affected areas, warning of accumulating snow above 1,200 metres. Travelers are urged to check road conditions before heading out and to carry chains or winter tires if possible.
This June snowfall is reminiscent of past late-spring storms that have caught motorists off guard. The cold air mass responsible for the snow is expected to linger for a couple of days before warmer temperatures return.
