Vancouver's Weather

The weather in Vancouver has been warmer than normal and it has been raining. In Canada, people use the metric system to measure temperature.  For example, this morning it was 8 degrees Celsius, which is 46.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

It has been so warm that Vancouver cherry blossom trees have bloomed early.
