Residents in Colwood, British Columbia, should prepare for a wet day as Environment Canada predicts periods of rain will continue through March 3, 2026. This weather system follows a day of significant travel disruptions across the region due to strong winds on March 2.
According to Environment Canada, there is an 80 per cent chance of rain throughout the day with temperatures reaching a high of 10°C. The rain is expected to last until near midnight, and the forecast shows breezy conditions and lingering wet weather may continue into next week.
The wet weather arrives as the City of Colwood carries out short-term lane closures on Westbound Sooke Road. These closures, which began on February 25, are set to continue until March 10, 2026, and could lead to slower travel and pooling water on the roads for local commuters.
People traveling by water may also face challenges as BC Ferries recovers from dozens of sailing cancellations that occurred on March 2, 2026. Ongoing terminal construction projects at Otter Bay and Village Bay are scheduled to last until March 27 and March 18, 2026, respectively, which may complicate travel during the current weather system.
