As Remembrance Day approaches, Vancouver residents can expect a mix of weather conditions leading up to the statutory holiday. The holiday falls on a Tuesday this year, meaning it will only be a true long weekend for those who took Monday off.
Friday brings a typical Vancouver blend of sunshine and showers, with daytime highs around 11°C and lows near 6°C overnight. According to Environment and Climate Change Canada, Saturday should offer clearer skies and similar daytime temperatures, though the night will be cooler at about 4°C.
Sunday’s forecast calls for variable conditions — some sunshine during the day, turning into rain by evening.
From Monday through Thursday, including Remembrance Day on Tuesday, consistent rainfall is expected — a return to classic “Raincouver” weather. Daytime highs will remain steady between 10°C and 11°C, while nights will cool to around 6°C. Environment and Climate Change Canada has not yet estimated total rainfall for the period.
“Between Monday and Thursday, including the Remembrance Day stat on Tuesday, it’s rain, rain, and more rain.”
Looking further ahead, Environment and Climate Change Canada experts suggest the potential for Vancouver to see colder conditions later in the season, possibly even some snow.
Vancouver will see shifting skies from sun to heavy rain through Remembrance Day week, with steady temperatures and a hint of winter on the horizon.
