The mercury is set to rise in Vancouver this week, and we should get our first true beach day of the season.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada’s latest forecast, after the clouds clear on Monday, Metro Vancouver is supposed to be sunny for the rest of the week.
Temperatures will rise to 25°C by Saturday — warm enough for a dip in the ocean.
It will feel even hotter away from water, reaching 28°C inland on Friday and 29°C on Saturday — even better weather for a day on a lake.
First we have to get through an evening of potential thunderstorms on Monday before Mother Nature truly turns on the sunshine.
