Summer in November: Record warm weather for Vancouver

While most of us in the Lower Mainland are used to bundling up in November, Tuesday’s weather was surprisingly balmy and warm and almost felt like the remnants of a summer’s day. It was so nice, that a giant rainbow even made an appearance across the city.
