What do the current numbers mean for Trail?
The values in the live forecast above indicate the temperature spread you can expect through the day. The high represents the peak warmth in the afternoon, while the low shows the cooling after sunset.

How does this compare to seasonal averages in the Columbia Valley?
Trail sits in a unique microclimate within the Columbia River valley, shielded by the Monashee and Selkirk ranges. The numbers in the live forecast above should be viewed against the local norm for this month. If the high shown is below the seasonal average, a cooler-than-usual air mass is in place; if above, a ridge of high pressure is likely dominating. This matters for residents comparing conditions to nearby Kimberley BC weather or Jaffray BC weather, which can differ due to elevation.
