There is rain in Weatherhood’s forecast for Sechelt, with 22 millimetres (mm) anticipated to fall starting in the morning hours of Friday Sept. 4 and continuing until the evening.

Looking at last month’s weather summary, Sept. 2024 saw 50.4 mm of rain recorded by Environment Canada’s automated weather station located at Sechelt airport. Most of that rain, 21.4 mm fell on Sept.25.  The highest temperature recorded during last month at that location was 30.4 degrees on Sept.5 and the lowest the mercury dipped was 4.6 degrees, which was reached on the final day of the month.
