The park receives regular regional weather reports, including
fire weather and lightning forecasts, direct via electronic mail from the
Environment Canada facilities in Kelowna, B.C. A daily weather report and
prediction for Revelstoke is available from Environment Canada.
The weather of the Mount Revelstoke region develops as a
result of warm moisture-laden air from the Pacific being deflected upwards by
the Columbia Mountains. The cooling of this air mass brings significant
precipitation to the Columbias, particularly during the winter months. The mean
annual precipitation is 1278mm (50in) at Revelstoke, 1995mm (79in) in the
subalpine zone.
