For Vancouver, the live forecast above shows the next 24 hours broken down by hour, with temperatures, precipitation probability, and wind details — useful for planning a walk along False Creek or a commute across the Burrard Inlet.
What does the hourly forecast tell you?
The hourly view gives you a granular look at how conditions shift through the day, especially important in a coastal city where marine air can bring sudden cloud or drizzle. You’ll see temperature trends, chance of rain or snow, wind speed and direction, plus humidity and UV index where available. This is more detailed than a daily high-low and helps you decide when to head out for a seawall jog or when to expect the afternoon sea breeze off English Bay.
How reliable are hourly projections?
Environment and Climate Change Canada updates its hourly forecasts multiple times a day using high-resolution models and local observations. Accuracy is highest within the first 12 hours and decreases further out, so check back later if you’re planning an evening event. The live forecast above refreshes automatically from official data, giving you the same information that broadcast meteorologists use.
When does rain typically start in Vancouver during a wet day?
Rain often arrives with the morning low cloud deck or pushes in from the southwest after noon. The hourly forecast will show a sharp increase in precipitation probability — watch for that jump to plan outdoor activities.
How often is the hourly forecast updated?
Environment Canada issues a new hourly forecast at least every six hours, though data feeds to BuzzLayer refresh more frequently. The live forecast above reflects the most recent official run, usually within minutes of release.
Can I use the hourly data for hiking in the North Shore mountains?
Yes, but remember that mountain conditions can differ from the city: add 1–2°C cooler per 300 metres of elevation and expect stronger winds. The hourly forecast for Vancouver proper is a starting point; check mountain-specific alerts on Environment Canada’s site.
