VANCOUVER, BC – It’s a fine summer day in Vancouver with the weather showing off its mixed bag of sun and clouds. Today’s high is expected to reach a pleasant 22°C, and while that’s right on the city’s August average, it’s comfortably shy of the historical high of 29.4°C set back in 1942. This morning started cool at around 18°C with some light cloud cover, so you might have needed that extra layer on your morning walk.
Humidity levels are hovering around 65% this morning, gradually lowering to 50-55% as the day progresses. Winds are gently blowing from the northwest at about 4 km/h, adding a refreshing breeze to the mix. The barometric pressure remains steady at 101.5 kPa, which means we should be able to enjoy a consistent weather pattern throughout the day.
As for the rest of the week, Vancouverites can expect temperatures to stay around the low 20s, with a mix of sun and cloud continuing to dominate the skies. There’s no significant rain on the horizon, making it a great time to get out and enjoy the city’s many outdoor activities.
What to Wear?
With a high of 22°C, it’s the perfect day to don your favorite summer attire—think light layers, sunglasses, and a hat if you’re spending extended time outdoors. But don’t forget that light jacket for the evening, when temperatures will dip back down to the mid-teens.
Historical Tidbit
August in Vancouver tends to be mild, but did you know that on August 7, 1960, the city sizzled at a record 31.7°C? Quite the contrast to today’s comfortably cool forecast!
