Expect a mostly cloudy day in White Rock and South Surrey with a 30% chance of morning showers and a high near 12 °C. Dress for damp, stay prepared.
Forecast at a Glance
Good morning, South Coast residents! For Tuesday in the White Rock and South Surrey area, the skies will lean mostly cloudy, with a 30 per cent chance of showers in themorning and a top temperature around 12 °C, according to Environment Canada.
After a crisp start, the day is shaping up to be cool and overcast so carry that umbrella, just in case.
Morning & Afternoon Outlook
During the early hours, clouds will dominate the sky and there is a moderate chance about 30 per cent that light showers will pass through. As the day moves forward, the chance of rain drops off and the clouds remain, keeping the sun mostly hidden. The high of 12 °C means it will feel chilly compared with recent milder days.
If you’re planning tasks outside maybe a coffee run, walk on the pier or trip to the park aim for the late morning or early afternoon when the skies might lighten a bit. Still, given the cloud cover, it won’t feel warm, so layering up is wise.
Evening & What to Expect Next
As evening arrives, the overcast conditions are likely to persist. While the rain threat diminishes, the damp, grey feel will linger into the night. Temperatures will dip, so it will be a good idea to have a jacket or a sweater at hand if you’re heading out for dinner or errands after sundown.
Looking ahead, the forecast shows several more days of mainly cloudy skies with periodic showers. In fact, rain is expected to return in full on Wednesday. So consider Tuesday a break a relatively stable but gloomy interlude before more unsettled weather arrives.
Why It Feels the Way It Does
This patch of weather comes as a quiet shift in conditions for the region. After drier and slightly warmer days, we’re slipping into more typical coastal fall weather. The high of 12 °C is slightly above the average recent highs, but since the sun is largely obscured and the clouds are thick, it won’t feel especially mild.
Cooler air masses and offshore flow patterns are likely contributing to the cloud cover and limiting sunshine. Because of that, even with a moderate high temperature, the feel of the day will be brisk and possibly a touch damp.
Wear & Prepare
Here are a few quick tips to get your day ready:
- Dress in layers. A medium jacket or sweater over a long-sleeve top will help you stay comfortable in the cool air.
- Bring an umbrella or rain jacket. Although only a 30 per cent chance early on, better safe than surprised.
- Choose appropriate footwear. With possible damp sidewalks or park trails, shoes with decent grip are smart.
- Outdoor plans? Best bet is later in the morning when showers if they happen will likely have passed and when the light may improve a little.
- Evening? Temperature falling means don’t stash the jacket just yet.
Bottom Line
Today will be a mostly cloudy, cool day in White Rock and South Surrey. A chance of showers in the morning is on the cards, but after that things should stay dry albeit grey through the afternoon. With a high near 12 °C and limited sunshine, it will feel brisk, so layer and stay ready for a little dampness. And keep an eye out: more showers may arrive tomorrow.
Stay dry out there and have a good one!
