Pitt Meadows is in the middle of a heat wave to start the week, but a sharp cool-down is on the way. Environment Canada forecasts temperatures will climb to 32°C on Monday June 22, 2026, with the humidex making it feel like 34, before rain and highs of just 17°C settle in by Friday.
The heat is expected to stick around through Wednesday, giving residents a chance to use local cooling centres. The City of Pitt Meadows has several spots open for anyone needing a break from the sun, including the Pitt Meadows Family Recreation Centre and the Library. These centres are part of the city’s heat preparedness plan and may extend hours if an extreme heat emergency is called.
Fraser Health sets the heat warning threshold for this area at daytime highs of 29 to 31°C with overnight lows of 14 to 15°C. While Pitt Meadows is seeing temperatures near the top of that range, no official heat warning was in place as of Monday morning. Still, with a UV index of 7 or high, residents are urged to take care outdoors, stay hydrated, and never leave kids or pets in parked cars.
Starting Thursday, the weather takes a sharp turn. Clouds will roll in, bringing a 60 percent chance of showers that continues through Saturday. Highs will drop dramatically, from the low 30s earlier in the week to a daytime high of 17°C and an overnight low of 13°C by Friday night. The rain is expected to last right through the weekend.
For a community that sits largely in a floodplain between the Fraser and Pitt Rivers, heavy rain can sometimes stir up concerns. But the BC River Forecast Centre reports there are no active flood warnings or advisories in effect as of Monday. So while umbrellas will be needed, flooding isn’t currently in the forecast.
