My Uncle lives in Fernwood, what a great little neighborhood! I'm so jealous that 40 years ago you could buy a house there for next to nothing...
So I was in Kelowna literally 2 days before the fire.
I drove in from Vernon at around 11pm, the entire way the temp was above 30 (hitting as high as 34 in spots). Driving along the lakeshore / hillsides at night in that heat was amazing, it felt like I was driving along the Baha.
Anyways, the next day was pretty nice, hazy, but could still feel the sun strong in the sky. Was about 37. I took the drone out and still got some decent pics.
I'm an odd person where I actually enjoy a little haze at times in the summer, gives it an LA / California vibe. Maybe that is just from growing up watching so many films made in LA and the warm feeling the setting always has with the haze.

Downtown is definitely looking a lot more dense these days with a nice mix of mid and high rises.
