Vancouver could see Canada Day showers before sunshine returns
The Vancouver weather forecast for the last week of June is starting off turbulent, and you may need to bring an umbrella if you were hoping to see some fireworks on Canada Day.
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is calling for daytime highs of 20°C on Monday, June 29 and Tuesday, June 30.
However, temperatures will drop on Wednesday for the stat holiday, and dip even lower on Thursday to 17°C for the start of the new month.

“We’re in an unsettled pattern,” ECCC meteorologist Brian Proctor explained to Daily Hive. “The current ridge isn’t strong, so we’re seeing some impulses drift in from off the Pacific.
“It will be a mainly cloudy week, though [we] may see some sun break through in the afternoons. However, temperatures will be just below seasonal for the last week of June.”
Proctor also warned that there may be some showers on Wednesday evening and into Thursday morning. So make sure to check the Vancouver weather forecast in case you need something waterproof while making plans for Canada Day events around the region.

The latest forecast indicates that the Metro Vancouver UV index will hit 7 on Monday and Tuesday, so make sure to put on some sunscreen or cover up even with the overcast skies.
