  • Top Three in Canada yesterday. Cooling off and wet this weekend.

    What a day yesterday! We got a real taste of summer with an official high at the Airport of 29.6°C. This was 3rd in Canada to Ashcroft (which broke 30) and Lytton. These highs did not break the 1998 record (31°C). Here at Alberniweather we got up to 29.8°C and boy was it nice at…

  • Welcome to May! How about 29°C today?

    It got up to a balmy 25°C yesterday both at Alberniweather and officially at the Airport. The record was 28.5°C in 1998 so we didn’t get there, but still not too shabby.

    It’s hard to think of a better forecast than what we have for this week… except perhaps if it included the weekend. 🙂 Monday: The cloud you see is just fog. Head up or over the hump and it’s crystal clear. This fog should burn off by 11AM. As you can see in the humidity…

  • Wet all day, but drying out a little Saturday. Heat next week?

Around 16mm is forecast between this morning and Saturday morning. More rain comes Saturday night and Sunday. It is starting to seem like a long time ago when we had that…
