Scorching hot weather arrives in Metro Vancouver this weekend, with inland temperatures forecast to reach over 30°C.
After a cooler-than-usual June compared to the last three years — particularly the year of the heat dome in 2021 — July looks like it’ll be a bit hotter, though still comfortable by heat dome standards.
Environment and Climate Change Canada says the average high this time of year is around 21.2°C, and the forecast currently calls for hotter-than-average temperatures.

While the forecast calls for highs of 24°C, 26°C, and 26°C on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, respectively, these temperatures don’t factor in the potential humidex or inland temperatures (away from the water).
On Friday, inland temperatures are forecast to hit 28°C, while on Saturday and Sunday, they’re expected to hit 31°C. Temperatures are expected to cool by a few degrees on Monday.
According to Vancouver Weather Records, those inland temperatures would be higher than Vancouver’s maximum temperature in June.
