Prince George, B.C. –  Summer officially arrives  in  our time zone  at 9:24 p.m. this evening.

The  three hour time difference between B.C. and other parts of  Canada  means  summer officially arrives  in Ontario shortly after midnight tonight, (12:24 am.)  kicking  the season change over to June 21st ,  the usual  first  day of summer.

Environment Canada  has  already  predicted the  average temperature  during the summer months in  northern B.C. will be  warmer than normal by perhaps a degree..

The forecast for  the first full day of summer  in B.C. ( June 21st)  calls for sunshine,  and   more sunshine and warmer temps through the balance of the week.
