The Okanagan Basin Water Board has launched the “Okanagan Climate Indicators Dashboard,” a tool to track climate changes in the valley over the past 100 years. This dashboard aims to inform policymakers and residents about temperature, precipitation, streamflow, and lake inflow changes, encouraging steps towards a more climate-resilient region.

Key points highlighted include:

• A consistent shift to a warmer and drier climate over the last 30 years.
• The importance of understanding these changes for water management, agriculture, and ecosystem needs.
• The dashboard provides valuable data to help farmers, local governments, and residents adapt to climate changes.
• The tool also offers resources for residents, educators, and local governments to prepare for the changing climate.
