Metro Vancouver can expect some Halloween weather tricks alongside treats this year. According to forecasts, light showers will likely dampen the daytime hours on October 31. However, families and Halloween enthusiasts planning to head out in the evening may have luck on their side, as rain is expected to pause briefly, creating a window of clearer skies for trick-or-treating.
Showers are anticipated to begin early in the day, with the potential for scattered rainfall across various parts of Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. The temperature is forecasted to stay in the mild range, hovering around 10-12°C, making it a typical, slightly wet autumn day for the region. Fortunately, forecasters suggest that by late afternoon or early evening, the showers should ease, providing a reprieve just in time for the Halloween festivities.
The evening lull in rain will likely allow families and costumed revelers to enjoy a relatively dry night outdoors. This break is expected to last for a few hours, though residents should keep umbrellas handy as rain could return later in the evening or overnight.
Vancouverites are encouraged to check local weather updates, as conditions can shift unexpectedly. For those hosting outdoor events, preparing for possible light rain in the early evening is wise, but the short window of clearer skies provides hope for a Halloween less impacted by weather.
After Halloween night, rain is expected to return to the Metro Vancouver area and potentially intensify, signaling a return to more typical wet weather. So, while it may not be a completely dry Halloween, a few lucky hours of clear weather could make the night a bit more enjoyable.
