The upper ridge allows for more subsiding air to sink down, and as it gets down towards the Earth\u2019s surface, it becomes warmer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Periods of rain are also expected to return to the Vancouver weather forecast this week, with precipitation expected to fall starting on Tuesday night and lasting until Saturday morning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do see a significant system in the North Pacific and Gulf of Alaska,\u201d added Loney. \u201cIt will make its way down to the south coast and make its presence felt Tuesday night. So we are in for a mixed bag latter part of the week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Vancouver weather\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"399\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2257027\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Vancouver-weather-10-1024x399.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-2257027\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ECCC<\/p>\n<p>Temperatures will remain fairly mild during the overnight periods, with lows of 5\u02daC on Tuesday, March 31, Wednesday, April 1, and Saturday, April 4.<\/p>\n<p>ECCC is also calling for a UV index of 3 or moderate on Monday and Tuesday, so you may want to cover up even with cloudy weather.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe UV Index was developed to help Canadians protect themselves from the sun\u2019s damaging UV (ultraviolet) rays,\u201d said ECCC online.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe higher the UV Index, the stronger the sun\u2019s rays, and the greater the need to take sun safety precautions.
