Well, Vancouver, we might just get a white Christmas after all – or at least a white-ish one. Let’s take a look at the updated weather forecast in Vancouver for next week leading up to the 24th and 25th of December.
Let’s start with this weekend. In their 14-day forecast, The Weather Network predicts “mixed precipitation” with 1 to 3 cm of snowfall on Saturday, December 17th, and up to 4 cm of snow on Sunday, December 18th.
From Monday, December 19th to Wednesday, December 21st, Vancouverites can expect a mix of flurries and sunny breaks, with temperatures plummeting once again into -3 and -5 celsius. And on Thursday, December 22nd, a proper snowfall of up to 15 cm is expected.
As for next week, TWN forecasts more mixed precipitation and rainfall leading up to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. So while Raincouver might be our official holiday guest over the weekend, we’ll at least get some significant snowfall beforehand!
