Residents of Pitt Meadows should prepare for a period of unsettled weather as Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement warning of strong wind gusts. The winds are expected to pick up on Monday evening, April 6, 2026, and continue through Tuesday morning, April 7, 2026.
The warning is in effect from 7:00 PM on Monday until 10:00 AM on Tuesday. Officials warn that the incoming gusts may be strong enough to break tree branches and toss loose objects around. Residents are advised to secure any outdoor furniture or items on their property and to charge portable electronic devices ahead of time to prepare for potential disruptions to utilities or transportation.
This turn in the weather follows a mild and sunny weekend in Pitt Meadows, which saw temperatures reach a high of 21 degrees Celsius on Sunday. The incoming system marks a change from the recent warmer conditions.
As the community prepares for the winds, the City of Pitt Meadows continues to monitor local conditions. Much of the municipality is located within the Fraser and Pitt River floodplains, making the area sensitive to changes in weather. While the city maintains 60 kilometres of dikes and several pump stations, including the recently upgraded Pitt Polder Pump Station, ongoing efforts remain focused on flood protection and infrastructure maintenance.
