Just like that, the weather is shifting.
After weeks of unpredictable spring weather, Victoria is about to warm up just in time for the Easter long weekend.
There’s still a bit of unstable weather to get through first. Friday is expected to bring cloudy skies with a 60% chance of showers and a high of around 12°C.
Overnight, temperatures will dip down to around 4°C with some cloudy periods.
But that’s where the grey skies end.
On Saturday, the weather is expected to turn a corner, with sunshine and a high of 15°C across the region. Clear skies are forecast into the evening, setting the tone for a much brighter weekend.
Sunday is shaping up to be the highlight, with Environment Canada calling for sunny skies and a high of 18°C.
It’s a noticeable jump from what Victoria has seen lately, and will likely have people heading outside to patios, parks and waterfront spots across the city.
Come Monday, the weather is expected to revert to a more mild forecast with a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 17°C, before temperatures ease slightly back to the low teens by Tuesday and Wednesday.
After a stretch of stop-and-go weather, the timing couldn’t be better.
With Easter weekend ahead, it looks like Victorians will finally get a run of sunshine and maybe even a reason to break out the sunscreen.
