The incoming rain also brings a notable drop in temperature, offering Vancouverites relief from the warm summer climate. Expect daytime highs of 20°C on Thursday and Friday.

You likely won’t have to change your weekend plans, either. Environment Canada is calling for a mix of sun and clouds on Saturday, with mainly sunny skies to end the weekend on Sunday.
