Dry Winter Weather Takes Over B.C. After Long Wet Spell
This winter has been nothing short of unpredictable for British Columbia. After weeks of relentless rain, southern B.C. is now set to experience a major shift toward dry, calm weather. The change couldn’t have come soon enough, as areas like Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland saw more than 20 consecutive days of rainfall, which has finally given way to a period of extended sunshine.
The shift is a result of a new weather pattern setting up across Western Canada, one that will bring in a stretch of dry weather and even some above-seasonal temperatures. As we move through January, the region is expected to enjoy an abundance of sunshine, with temperatures climbing above seasonal norms in many areas. This is a welcomed break, especially given the typically gloomy nature of January, when Vancouver usually sees about 18 to 19 rainy days.

Monday looks particularly promising, with a forecasted sun-filled afternoon, perfect for outdoor activities like skiing, thanks to the fresh snowpack at local resorts. The coming days are expected to bring mild conditions, with temperatures rising above freezing and the freezing level reaching 2000 meters on some days. While this will bring a period of pleasant weather, it’s also important to note that the drier conditions will mean more sunshine and less rain for the next week.
However, it’s not all clear skies ahead. While most of the systems expected to arrive in the next week will bring snow to alpine areas, they lack significant moisture, meaning there won’t be much rain on the horizon. Despite the pleasant weather, it’s crucial to stay prepared for some weather events, such as fog and colder conditions. As we move toward the end of January, models suggest the possibility of subzero temperatures, with a colder pattern possibly developing around January 19 to 20.
This winter has already brought some unpredictable weather, and there are still chances for cooler spells as La Niña takes hold. This phenomenon, which is known for producing cooler and wetter conditions, could influence the weather by the end of the month, making it essential to keep an eye on forecasts. In the meantime, the dry spell offers a welcome reprieve from the heavy rain, with many residents looking forward to a brighter and drier stretch over the next week. Whether you're out enjoying the sun or planning ahead for the colder days to come, it's clear that B.C.'s winter weather is keeping everyone on their toes.
