Pitt Meadows is enjoying a mild start to the week, but Environment Canada warns that wetter weather is on the way. On Monday, June 29, 2026, the temperature sat at 19°C under a mix of sun and cloud, but clouds are expected to thicken and bring a chance of showers by mid-week.

According to Environment Canada, Wednesday, July 1 will be cloudy with a high of 19°C, and a 40 percent chance of showers overnight as temperatures dip to 11°C. Thursday remains cloudy with a 40 percent chance of showers and a high of 17°C. Friday will be cloudy with a high of 19°C. The weekend looks brighter, with sunny skies and a high of 24°C on Sunday.

For residents, the shift means keeping an umbrella handy and staying cautious on wet roads during the morning and evening commutes. Outdoor plans later in the week may need a backup indoors.

Pitt Meadows sits mostly within the floodplains of the Fraser and Pitt rivers, and while the coming rain is not expected to cause any flooding, the city’s flood infrastructure is always a background concern. Around 85 percent of the community lies in flood-prone areas, protected by 60 kilometres of dikes, six pump stations, and a network of ditches and culverts. A 2018 assessment found the dike system does not meet current provincial standards, and a worst-case flood could cause up to $725 million in damage. The city has identified up to $135 million in needed upgrades.

As of late June, the BC River Forecast Centre reports no active flood advisories for the Lower Fraser region, and Fraser River discharge levels are well below historic highs for this time of year. Still, city officials encourage residents to stay aware, especially during the spring freshet season which runs into July.
