Vancouverites should keep their umbrella on deck for the next several days.
The Metro Vancouver weather forecast includes a chance of precipitation nearly every day this week following weeks of unseasonably dry and hot conditions.
Starting on Friday (Oct. 21), Environment Canada calls for periods of rain with a high of 10 C and a low of 6 C. Saturday is also expected to see some wet weather, with a 30 per cent chance of showers during the day. The skies are expected to clear overnight, however, with temperatures dropping down to 4 C.
Sunday may be the only sunny day this week, with a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 11 C expected during the day. That said, the overnight forecast includes rain.
Starting next week, the wet weather is expected to continue from Monday through Wednesday.
An air quality advisory is still in effect for the region but all parts of the Lower Mainland show improved conditions as of Friday morning, according to Metro Vancouver's AirMap.

La Niña, "the girl" in Spanish, names the "appearance of cooler than normal waters" in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, according to the Canadian government; it is the opposite of an El Niño weather event.
In a recent update, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) called for a 75 per cent chance that La Niña will be present this winter and won't change to a "neutral" weather pattern until about February.
