Beaverdell experiences a
humid continental climate (Köppen:
Dfb) with one of the highest
diurnal temperature variations in Canada. In addition, this community has the highest diurnal (24 hour) temperature variation in Canada from June through September by means of the dry and sunny climate, valley bottom location, relatively high elevation, and the surrounding geography. Frost can occur even in the middle of summer. The daily temperature swings during the winter are less varied thanks to the presence of valley cloud. Despite its proximity to Kelowna, Beaverdell receives about 25% more rain, due to
orographic precipitation induced by its higher elevation within the
Okanagan Highland. However, it receives less precipitation than
Grand Forks, which is lower and has more desert-like vegetation. ==See also==
