The climate in the southeastern corner of British Columbia is difficult to generalize. The area is filled with many different micro-climates and the weather patterns can vary widely, often within just a few kilometres of each other. The most reliable way to determine the climatic conditions around New Denver is to view the statistics in the Slocan Lake area in general. This too will vary somewhat from one side of the lake to the other but the consistent data collected on the lake provides the most accurate information about the weather conditions you can expect in the New Denver area. Keep in mind that in some of the mountain areas just a couple of miles away the statistics can be quite different. For our purposes here we will concentrate on monthly climate data regarding temperature, rainfall and snowfall. For consistency purposes we will view the average stats in each category for each month of the year for both 2018 and 2019. Of course the New Denver area is beautiful during all times of year but this will give you some notion of the relative conditions in the area which you can expect to find during your planned trip to the New Denver Lodge.
