British Columbia will soon be missing this key April trait
British Columbia's spring storm parade will be taking a brief intermission for the rest of the week.
After an above-average March for rainfall in British Columbia, we're finally looking at a break in showers into and through the first weekend of April.
2025 has started off on a rollercoaster of precipitation across B.C., with January seeing only 33 per cent of its average rainfall, February seeing near-normal monthly rainfall, and March seeing 127 per cent of its average rainfall.
March's wet and stormy weather was nothing to be too gloomy about, however, as spring rainfall is vital in preparing the province for the start of wildfire season.

On the flip side, Vancouver's airport has recorded 14 days straight of rainy weather, and the city has not seen more than a peak of the sun since March 6. What's worse, Vancouverites haven't seen any consecutively sunny days since mid-February.
Heading into April, we're finally seeing a brief light at the end of the tunnel as bright, pleasant weather returns to the South Coast on Wednesday.
Sunny days are ahead in B.C.
An area of high pressure will descend from the north and build across the West Coast on Wednesday afternoon. This will temporarily halt the parade of storms that have been bombarding the B.C. coast the past few weeks and usher in multiple days of sunny skies and warm temperatures.
Folks can expect to see ten hours of sunny weather on Thursday, with the bright trend continuing into Friday and Saturday.

Temperatures will also rise to above-seasonal on Friday, setting up the province for a beautiful weekend best spent outdoors.
The weekend will likely bring the most sunshine B.C. has seen in over a month, so don't miss out on your chance to enjoy the fine weather, because it won't last forever.
Wet and stormy conditions will resume once more late Sunday as a rainy front sweeps into the province from the Pacific.
