Greater Victoria is going to flip weather wise next week – we just need to get through a bout of June-uary first.
Experts at Environment Canada says the first week of June will be cooler than normal across most of the province.
Environment and Climate Change Canada Meteorologist Armel Castellan says Greater Victoria residents would be wise to have rain gear on standby: "We're actually even seeing a fall, winter pattern come up on Sunday, Monday and again on Tuesday. We'll probably see two solid pulses of rain, not flooding amounts, but several hours of raindrops will make it kind of feel like Juneuary."
