Today’s Weather in Vancouver
Vancouver is treating you to a beautiful summer day, with clear skies and a gentle southeast breeze. The high today will reach a pleasant 25°C, perfect for an afternoon stroll by the water. Expect mostly sunny skies throughout the day with winds staying consistent at 15 km/h from the southeast. The current humidity is hovering around 60%, so while it’s warm, it won’t feel overly sticky.

As the day winds down, temperatures will drop slightly to around 20°C by the evening, so a light jacket might be handy if you’re planning to be out late.
Historic Weather Records
