Wet and Windy Day in Vancouver

Vancouver is set for a rainy Monday, August 26th, with cloudy skies and a 40% chance of showers starting late in the morning. By the afternoon, expect steady rain, bringing around 5 mm of precipitation, accompanied by winds from the west at 30 km/h near the Strait of Georgia. The high will reach 19°C, with a moderate UV index of 5, so you might still need some sun protection if you’re out early.

Evening and Overnight Downpour

Tonight, the rain will intensify, with 20 to 30 mm expected before it clears after midnight. Winds will shift, with gusts up to 50 km/h near the coast. The temperature will drop to a cool 12°C by morning.

Sunny Days Ahead

The weather will take a turn for the better starting Tuesday, as sunny skies return with a high of 19°C. This sunny trend will continue throughout the week, with temperatures gradually increasing, reaching a pleasant 24°C by Saturday.

Wardrobe Tip: Today calls for rain gear—waterproof jackets and sturdy umbrellas. However, you can look forward to breaking out the sunglasses and lighter clothing for the rest of the week as the sun makes a comeback.

Did You Know?

Today’s high of 19°C is slightly below Vancouver’s late-August average of 21°C, but the sunny days ahead should help balance things out, making it a great week to enjoy the outdoors once the rain clears.
