Shutter BoysInterior shutters in Kamloops
Kamloops's seasons, indoors
Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. Kamloops's warmest month is July, at an average high of 29.3 °C, and its coldest nights come in January, at an average low of −5.7 °C.
Highs stay at 25 °C or more from June to August: the months when west and south rooms need shade in the afternoon.
Vernon, 88 km away, has 29 days a year at 30 °C or more, fewer than Kamloops's 36.

Bedrooms on hot summer evenings
With 36 days a year at 30 °C or more, close the louvers on sunny afternoons so the bedroom isn't holding the day's heat at night, then tilt them open for air once the sun is off the glass.
Early light in June
Around the longest day the sun is up for 16 h 29 min here, so east-facing bedrooms get light very early. Full-height panels with the louvers closed keep most of it out; a mounting frame closes the gaps around the edges.
Living rooms on winter evenings
116 nights a year fall at or below 0 °C. Closing the shutters after dark puts a layer of still air between the room and the cold glass; open them again in the morning so the window dries out.
Room by room in Kamloops
The average home in Kamloops has 6.5 rooms, and the most common has four or more bedrooms. That's a lot of rooms to cover at once; most owners start with the bedrooms and the street-facing living room. In Vernon, 88 km away, the figure is 6.2 rooms.
13% of workers here worked from home on census day in May 2021, fewer than in 87% of the 167 Canadian cities we have figures for. In Vernon, 88 km away, it's about the same: 14% worked from home.
