Port Alberni, BC residents can enjoy a warm Monday with a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 23°C, according to Environment Canada. The humidex will make it feel like 25, and the UV index is expected to hit 6, which is considered high and calls for sun protection.
The break from cloudier skies comes as temperatures hover near the seasonal normal of 24°C for this time of year. It is a good chance to get outside before a shift in weather brings rain back to the Alberni Valley.
Environment Canada’s forecast shows rain returning Tuesday night and continuing into Wednesday. Tuesday will see a high of 22°C with overcast skies and a chance of showers, but Wednesday’s high will drop sharply to 16°C with steady rain.
The latter half of the week remains unsettled. Thursday’s high is 18°C with a 60 percent chance of showers, while Friday and Saturday bring a slight warm-up with a mix of sun and cloud and highs of 21 to 22°C.
Port Alberni typically sees dry summers and wet winters, and this week is a classic late-August transition. For those planning outdoor activities, Monday is the day to take advantage of the sunny breaks before the wetter pattern arrives.
