Happy St. Patrick’s Day, to those who celebrate.

There’s a 40 per cent chance of showers in Sechelt all day today, March 17, but by 6 p.m. you can expect clear skies and mainly sunny, according to Environment Canada.

The temperature will reach a high of 8-C, today, a little cooler than the 18.8-C recorded on this day in 2024. The UV index remains at just two, so no need for sunscreen just yet.

Overnight, the temperature will drop to -2-C, the first time it’s dipped below zero for a week or more.

The sun is expected to come out again on Tuesday, before the Coast is hit by more clouds and rain all week.

Meanwhile, Weatherhood is calling for a high of 9-C today and low of +2-C overnight. The days are getting longer and sunset should arrive at 7:25 p.m. and rise again at 7:19 a.m.
