Vancouver weather offering free showers this weekend
Vancouver’s “Raincouver” reputation is set to make a return this weekend, according to the weather forecast.
The showers will start ushering in the return of fall and the typical wet season that comes with it in our region.
Fall starts on September 22 just before midnight, and the average highs on that day are normally about 17.8°C.

Sunday could be a bit warmer with a high of 18°C, and while there’s a strong chance of rain for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, it won’t be cold enough to issue any sort of travel advisory for snow in the mountains yet.
Meantime, The Weather Network says this fall and winter could be drier, thanks to an El Niño on the way.
“The warm waters of El Niño are here to stay through the winter, forecasters say, and the pattern could grow quite strong over the months ahead,” the network reported.
This year’s El Niño is forecasted to strengthen through the heart of this upcoming winter, according to the US Climate Prediction Centre.
This would mean drier and above-seasonal temperatures for the West Coast of Canada.
