Summer officially begins this week and with it, warmer weather is expected in Metro Vancouver.
For most of June, temperatures have stayed below 20 C in Vancouver, with highs averaging 18.3 C. This week, however, Environment Canada predicts it'll get warmer in the region.
While there may be some rain earlier in the week, by Thursday, the weather agency predicts several days of sun, with temperatures steadily getting warmer until it reaches a high of 24 C on Sunday. Overnight, it's not expected to get cooler than 12 C this week.
The pleasant weather change comes after the Lower Mainland had its typical rainy June, with an atmospheric river and some localized flooding.
That atmospheric river was more potent than B.C. normally sees heading into summer, but not all that unusual. In fact, Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist shared his dislike for the term "June-uary" earlier this month.
"January is actually much wetter than this. This is just one system in June, and June is typically wet," he said. "This is normal, so why don't we call it June?"
Lundquist explained June's soggy weather helps to reduce the impacts of wildfire season later in the summer.
