According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), the sunshine will settle in for the weekend, with highs of 11°C forecasted for Saturday and 13°C expected on Sunday.

Wednesday is when things could really warm up, with highs of up to 19°C inland, and Thursday could see inland temperatures hit the 20°C mark.
In a March interview, ECCC warning preparedness meteorologist Lisa Erven indicated that B.C. could see a warming trend and temperatures above seasonal norms over the next few months across the province.
However, she noted that there’s also a probability of above-average precipitation throughout spring in sections of B.C.
The province’s spring weather is likely to be unpredictable as we transition out of a La Niña winter into what is known as an “ENSO-neutral” favoured forecast.
