NANAIMO — Expect the warmest months of the year to be a little bit hotter this year.
Forecasters with The Weather Network say their long-range projections are calling for a warmer and drier summer than normal for Vancouver Island and much of B.C.
Meteorologist Rachel Modestino said there’s a strong warm signal through different forecast models, with unseasonably warm temperatures through the spring expected to ramp up further into June, although the news is not all bad.
“There are some small droughts that have been noted through April for some southeast parts of the Island including Victoria, up the Malahat, and into the Comox Valley. As we enter the summer, we’re in a generally better place than we have been the last couple of years.”
