You might not see the sun first thing on July 1.<\/p>\n
The Metro Vancouver weather forecast includes warming temperatures after a slightly cooler, wetter break.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Canada Day might start a little wet, but nothing to warrant concern, says Environment Canada meteorologist Ian Hubbard.<\/p>\n
The forecast for Wednesday (July 1) includes drizzle overnight and into the early morning and then clearing skies in the afternoon and into the evening. Temperatures should reach a high of 21 C on the coast (just shy of the seasonal average of 22 C).\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Canada Day, the forecast includes a mix of sun and cloud for a couple of days, although Thursday looks a bit cooler, with a high of\u00a019 C. Friday’s forecast includes a slightly warmer high of 22 C as a ridge of high pressure strengthens in the region.<\/p>\n
“By the time we hit Friday, we’re just seeing the ridge right over top and sunny skies as we head into the weekend,” he notes. “It looks like a good clearing\u00a0trend on the way as the week goes on with some pretty good sky conditions and decent\u00a0temperatures, but not too hot.”<\/p>\n
Hubbard says temperatures will warm up nicely over the weekend but aren’t expected to break any records or come close.<\/p>\n

Heading into next week, the ridge of high pressure may begin to weaken, although forecast confidence wanes this far in advance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“As you get towards later in the day Monday or into early Tuesday, you’re going to start to see maybe some more showers or drizzle push in there with a little bit of cloud,” he explains.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So far, the department isn’t tracking any significant storm or major heat wave, but a shift in conditions is possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
