Port Alberni, British Columbia, is shaking off a rainy Tuesday morning, with Environment Canada forecasting the rain to end late this morning. The skies will remain mainly cloudy with a 60 percent chance of showers, but the wet start to the day is giving way to drier conditions.
As of 8:00 a.m. on July 28, 2026, Environment Canada recorded a temperature of 14.9°C with humidity at 97 percent and light winds from the south-southeast at 4 km/h. The forecast calls for a high of 20°C today, with winds becoming south at 20 km/h near noon. No weather alerts are in effect for the area.
The rain is not unusual for a coastal community, but it comes during what is normally the driest month of the year. July typically sees only 20 to 41 mm of rainfall in the Alberni Valley. Wednesday is expected to bring a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 23°C. Saturday is expected to bring showers with a high of 20°C, while Sunday should see a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 20°C.
The wet weather this morning follows a period of extreme heat and wildfire smoke across much of British Columbia in mid-July. While temperatures reached the mid-30s in many areas and about 80 wildfires burned province-wide, Vancouver Island was not under air quality alerts by late July.
