Meanwhile, temperatures are all in the positive for Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»this week.
Daily highs will hover around 10 C for Stanley Park, Yaletown, Granville Island and Mount Pleasant, according to Weatherhood.
The mercury may rise a little bit higher at nearly 15 C for southern areas, as well as UBC, Jericho, Killarney and Kerrisdale.
Currently, the Southlands is the warmest place in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»at 11 C, Dunbar is the coldest at 4.5 C, and South Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»is the windiest at 12.5 km/h.
Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»shelters, warming centres
It's not known yet if Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»will re-open extreme weather shelters, which closed on Sunday.
According to the city, shelters are put in place when temperatures are near 0 C with rainfall "that makes it difficult or impossible for those experiencing homelessness to remain dry."
As well, shelters can open when any of the following occurs:
- Sleet or freezing rain
- Snow accumulation
- Sustained high winds
- Temperatures at or below 0 C, or "feels like" 0 C with wind chill
