Are you ready for some seriously summery weather?
While the Vancouver weather forecast has called for a lengthy stretch of sunshine for quite some time, temperatures are now expected to soar even higher.
On Wednesday, April 14, Environment Canada calls for sunshine and a high of 16°C near the water and 22°C inland. Following this, Thursday is also expected to be sunny with a high of 17°C except 23°C inland.
While Friday is also expected to see a 17°C high near the water, the forecast calls for inland temperatures to reach a high of 24°C. Similarly, Saturday's forecast calls for a 17°C high except a toasty 25°C high inland.
Sunday is expected to be a little warmer closer to the water, with the forecast calling for a high of 19°C, with an inland high of 23°C.
Monday is also expected to be sunny and warm, while Tuesday's forecast calls for a 60 per cent chance of showers.
Metro Vancouver Weather Forecast

Environment Canada Meteorologist Armel Castellan tells Vancouver Is Awesome that April's forecast looks cooler than average this year. What's more, he says it looks like the month will see temperatures up to 2°C below seasonal averages.
"I think we're going to see a higher probability of seeing that continued northwesterly flow giving lower normals," he explains.
"We don't see anomalous warmth. That's kind of why the April forecast seems pretty consistent."
Following April, however, Castellan says the south of B.C. is expected to see above-average temperatures for May and June. That said, he notes that the forecast is still showing the weaker "end of the probabilities," such as 40 to 50 per cent.
