Welcome back. What took you so long?

Wow looking like summer next week.

[PortKells]

Looks like a may 2018 repeat.

[Canada Goose]

That would pretty much guarantee a cool/wet June. Warm/dry May and June combos are pretty rare; 2015 being a notable recent exception.

Ya, it's pretty rare to see warm and dry May and June in YVR:

2015
2004
1995
1969
1958
1940

Sometimes, they are dry but not warm, or vice versa. Sometimes May is warm and/or dry but June isn't warm and dry (2018 is a good example).

Nevertheless, if May is warm and dry, June can be quite normal.

Tx of the day:

17.4C in YVR

I could definitely see temps topping 31/32C in the usual spots... Lytton, Osoyoos, etc.

Maybe it's because I'm in the sunny triangle of Ladner, Tsawwassen , White Rock , but I really don't remember a whole lot of rain last year in the
May-August period, probably one of the driest 4 month stretches ever.

[Monty]

Dry streak is already at 14 days here. This is going to be a very notable dry stretch for so early in the season

It was.

Looks like some offshore flow is trying to get going. Should be a little stronger and spread farther west tonight and tomorrow. Should be some very mild lows in some places the next could nights.
