As rain pours over the Metro Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»region, coincidentally also marking the conclusion of summer's sunshine and the start of cool, wet fall weather on none other than the fall equinox, some Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»neighbourhoods may feel wetter than others.
Meteorological fall kicked off on Sept. 1 but the fall equinox took place on Friday, Sept. 22. Evidently the autumn season is off to a rainy start -- a trend that will continue according to the long-term fall forecast which also includes above-average temperatures that may be tied to El Niño.
Over the weekend and stretching into next week, however, Vancouverites can expect days of heavy rain.
