I'm so excited.

This is also much needed rain as various model runs have suggested another heatwave around the end of the month and early September.

Well, it will still be summer then, so no biggie.

Really, what we have seen this summer is something approaching a return to normalcy. Not complete normalcy, still warmer than long-term norms, but still a generally warm and dry pattern with occasional rainy interludes. Not wall to wall warm and dry the whole summer long.

I’d be happy with going right into the wet fall season right now.

Probably could see some at the high peaks in Garibaldi and Whistler Blackcomb both tomorrow evening and Monday morning.

A little more subdued in the SW regions, which is probably more likely.

Above normal rainfall though.

It’s coming.

Guess we're called the Sunshine Coast for a reason, no warnings here...yet. Drizzling now and a very pleasant late September week ahead.

Also above normal temperature. But not as wildly hot and bone-dry as some recent summers.
