Here is how hot it is expected to be in Vancouver this week

Looking forward to hitting the beach this week?

While the city won't see scorching daily highs, the Vancouver weather forecast calls for sunshine and toasty temperatures throughout the week. 

Starting on Wednesday (July 14), the forecast calls for bright sunshine and a high of 24°C that will feel more like 28°C with humidity. Thursday is expected to be cloudy during the morning with skies clearing in the afternoon with a high of 23°C that will feel more like 26°C with humidity. 

Heading into the weekend, Friday is expected to be cloudy with a high of 21°C. However, Saturday and Sunday are expected to see a mix of sun and cloud with a high of 22°C expect 26°C inland on Sunday. 

Evening lows are expected to dip down to 14°C or 15°C throughout the week.

Will there be another scorching hot heat wave in Metro Vancouver this summer?

While you might have to be prepared for more sweltering humidity, it isn't likely that B.C. will see the same scorching daily highs that it did during the heat wave at the end of June.

"That kinda thing is a once-in-a-lifetime event," Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist told Vancouver Is Awesome. 

"Let's hope that doesn't happen [again] for decades."

Environment Canada calls for above-average temperatures across B.C. this summer but more information about August will be available later this month. Find out the full summer forecast and its possible heat waves.
