After a long and rainy March, Victoria was finally given a little taste of spring yesterday.
At 4 p.m., on March 23rd, a high of 15.6°C was recorded at Victoria International Airport, the warmest since records began in 1941.
This record beat out the previous highest temperature of 15.5°C recorded in 1979.

Despite yesterday’s beautiful weather, the Weather Network is predicting a slower progression to spring weather for the province.
Although BCwill still be the first province in Canada to welcome spring, it is expected that the progression into the new season will be slower than we often see, especially during the second half of the season.
Are you ready for warmer weather? We know we are!
