Vancouverites hoping to get a tan this weekend might be disappointed.
As summer approaches its end in the Lower Mainland, the Vancouver weather forecast calls for a great deal of cloudy weather and a couple of opportunities for showers.
Starting on Thursday (Sept. 9), however, the forecast calls for a mix of sun and cloud, with a high of 23°C except 26°C inland. With humidity, these temperatures will feel more like 26°C and 29°C, respectively. Temperatures are expected to dip down to a 14°C low overnight, followed by another day with a mix of sun and cloud and similar heat.
Saturday is expected to be cloudy and a few degrees cooler. This trend is expected to continue through the remainder of the weekend and into Monday, with daily highs of roughly 19°C and overnight lows of 12°C.
Starting Tuesday, the forecast includes opportunities for showers throughout the day.
