It seems Vancouver had to go through a dramatic thunderstorm in order to receive nearly seven days of straight sunshine stretching into the long weekend.

According to Environment Canada, Vancouver isn't quite out of the woods yet with a 30 per cent chance of thunderstorms later Wednesday. However, things are looking better heading into Thursday with very few clouds and a high of 16°C. Friday, May 21 is expected to be nothing but sunny with a high of 18°C, the same goes for Saturday with a high of 19°C.

Sunday and Victoria Day on Monday look to be a mix of sun and cloud with a high of 19°C. The sun even continues on past the long weekend and into Tuesday.
