The Remembrance Day statutory holiday is approaching, bringing a varied weather forecast to Vancouver. The holiday falls on a Tuesday this year, so only those who take Monday off will enjoy a long weekend.
The lead-up begins with typical Vancouver weather: a mix of sun and rain. Temperatures will reach a high of 11˚C during the day and drop to 6˚C overnight.
Saturday is expected to be pleasant with mainly sunny skies and temperatures again peaking at 11˚C. However, nights will be colder at around 4˚C.
Sunday will see some sunshine during the day followed by rain showers in the evening.
Starting Monday and continuing through Thursday, including Remembrance Day on Tuesday, rain will dominate. Daytime temperatures will remain between 10˚C and 11˚C, with overnight lows around 6˚C.
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has not yet provided estimates for total rainfall amounts during this period.
"We recently spoke to an ECCC meteorologist about winter conditions and the possibility of Vancouver seeing snow later in the season."
Weather conditions are expected to get wetter and cooler as the week progresses, typical of this time of year.
Summary: Vancouver faces mixed weather with sun, rain, and cooler temperatures leading into Remembrance Day, followed by a prolonged rainy period and early signs of approaching winter.
