Metro Vancouver is bracing for a stormy weekend. This could be the first August rain in parts of British Columbia. Forecasts indicate humid conditions with temperatures reaching around forty degrees Celsius, with a risk of thunderstorms. Cooler air will arrive later in the week. Rain is expected to fall hard across the city.

Severe thunderstorms struck Vancouver Island on Saturday. They created beautiful sunset views seen from Port Angeles. The storm system is expected to push into the Lower Mainland in the next few days. This could signal the end of the hot humid stretch across the region.
