Metro Vancouver weather forecast includes bone-chilling cold from wind chill
With the wind chill, the overnight low may feel significantly colder. Some parts of the region may experience temperatures plummeting to -4 C overnight Monday but this temperature may feel as cold as a bone-chilling -8 C with winds gusting up to 15 km/hr.
Tuesday morning may feel even colder, with a wind chill of -9 C expected in some areas.
In Vancouver, temperatures a couple of degrees below freezing are expected to persist through Wednesday, with overnight lows ranging between -2 C and -3 C without wind chill. Thanks to clear skies, blazing sunshine is expected during the days through the cold spell. However, there may be a few cloudy periods.
Warmer, wet weather is expected to make its way into the region starting Friday, marking a return to temperatures closer to seasonal averages.
