This weekend will be the coldest Thanksgiving weekend in Vancouver since 2008, according to the Weather Network.
A meteorologist says residents of Vancouver will be able to chill the beer for their Thanksgiving dinner just by leaving it on their porch.
This weekend will be the coldest Thanksgiving weekend since 2008, according to the Weather Network's Tyler Hamilton.
That year, the temperature measured at the Vancouver International Airport stayed below 12 C the entire weekend.
The cooler weather is expected to settle in for a few days on the West Coast, and some areas, including Whistler, B.C., can expect highs in the single digits.
In Vancouver, meteorologists predict a high of 10 C on Thanksgiving Monday, and 12 C the day before.
Similar temperatures are predicted by Environment Canada. The agency then expects temperatures to rise slightly into next week.
The average high for Oct. 10 is 14.5 C, a bit warmer than expected this weekend. But it's been worse. The coldest-ever Oct. 10 was in 1965, when the mercury dropped to 1.1 C. The warmest was two years earlier, when the high reached 22.2, Environment Canada data shows.
