Grand theft summer: Looks like B.C. stole the season

Ontario is looking at frost by the end of a below-seasonal week, but the Prairies and Atlantic Canada have beaten the province to that seasonal milestone by a couple of weeks already.

And it's been dry, very dry. And it'll stay that way for a little while longer, according to Weather Network meteorologist Tyler Hamilton.

"A marine push is likely on Wednesday afternoon, as the offshore upper level low sends a couple short waves into southern B.C., with showers possible along the south coast," he said Tuesday. "There's increasing chance of showers overnight and into Thursday. Generally, 5-8 mm is forecasted for Vancouver, with 15-20 mm for the eastern Fraser Valley."

Temperature-wise, it'll be a couple degrees lower, but then Hamilton says there may be more heat in store for the weekend.

"Another huge ridge looks probable Saturday/Sunday, and Sunday evening could feature 30oC temperatures in southern B.C.," he said. "Incredible warmth is possible.

And it's been like this most of the summer. In fact, the B.C. southern Interior has consistently been the hottest place in Canada, with numerous days above 30^oC, and even a couple of days of forty-degree temperatures for a handful of communities.
