Residents across Vancouver and B.C. have dealt with a series of storms and lots of wet weather over the past week; however, the forecast offers a hint of sunshine, but not until after we endure a lot more rain.
Along with the wet weather, there have been some strange temperature anomalies, most notably on Wednesday, when several heat records were broken across the province on an unseasonably muggy November day, including a record 17.1°C in the West Vancouver area.
According to the seven-day Vancouver weather forecast from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), over the next week, on every day of the forecast, Vancouver residents are going to be dealing with a chance of showers, rain, or cloudy days.
Nighttime temperatures are also expected to decrease significantly after a slight jump.
Over the next couple of nights, overnight temperatures will average 10°C. The ECCC forecast says that on Saturday overnight, it jumps to 11°C. It’ll drop back down to 10°C on Sunday, before we go down to 5°C and 4°C on Monday and Tuesday next week, respectively.
The potential for sun comes next Wednesday, Nov. 18, when ECCC forecasts a mix of sun and cloud with a high of 10°C. A lot can change between now and Nov. 18, so it remains to be seen if the forecast stays the same.

The wet November we’ve been seeing comes after an abnormally dry October.
Unseasonable warmth in B.C.
As Daily Hive reported earlier today, several warm weather records were broken across the province yesterday.
According to the daily weather summaries from ECCC, 31 B.C. spots tied or set records on Remembrance Day.
While Vancouver is in the midst of a warmer-than-normal fall, Wednesday’s high in the city broke a record set back in 1996.
Based on previous conversations Daily Hive has had with ECCC, it seems unlikely that we’re going to get much winter weather, if any, which may disappoint folks hoping for a White Christmas this year.
