What can I say about our weather other than it is absolutely amazing? We could end up with the driest April on record and records go back to the late 1800s here in Vancouver. I could get used to the sunshine day after day, that’s for sure. By Sunday it will be the driest start to April ever.
Looking ahead we see more of the same through the weekend and possibly into next week. Highs in the 70s and with luck 80 degrees or better over the weekend. Better get the patio ready and the barbecue out, it’s time for some summerlike activities.
We finally got rid of those frosty mornings and will continue to enjoy milder nighttime temperatures. Snowmelt has begun in the mountains and local rivers will be rising slowly but will remain quite cold. When it reaches 80 degrees many head to the river to cool off. Beware that it is dangerous this early in the season. The water is cold and could be milky from the snowmelt.
I have geraniums in my garage ready to set outside but I will wait awhile and see how the last half of the month goes.
