Metro Vancouver Weather Update
Stormy conditions persist with more storms forecast through the weekend. Unlike typical Vancouver falls, which feature larger storms separated by clear days, this season brings frequent smaller storms hitting B.C.'s south coast. As a result, residents have fewer chances to enjoy clear, crisp fall weather.
