There will be a welcome reprieve from the heat today in Richmond, with temperatures set top drop as much as 10 degrees Celsius across the city on Friday.
The Richmond News’ Weatherhood station sensors, placed at six strategic locations around the city, indicate that the likes of Steveston Village and Steveston Harbour will be as mild as 18 and 19C respectively today.
That’s a marked departure from the heat of the high 20s over the last week or so.
At our other Weatherhood stations, the mercury is forecast to get a little higher:
Richmond Centre (BCIT campus): 20C;
Bridgeport (No. 5 and River roads): 20C;
East Richmond (near Knight Street and Highway 91): 20C;
Terra Nova (Quilchena Golf Club): 18C;
The temperatures are expected to start rising again through the weekend across Richmond, with the city centre forecast to be around 26C on Saturday and 28 on Sunday.

Our parent company, Glacier Media, recently launched Weatherhood on all of its news sites across Metro Vancouver, with weather stations strategically positioned around Richmond neighbourhoods to give you a hyper-local forecast.
The stations are all scientifically calibrated at UBC’s Atmospheric Sciences department, and our stations are placed in a way that is meteorologically sound: away from trees, buildings, walls, and major obstructions.
More than 50 sensors have been strategically placed throughout the region, including along the Sunshine Coast, all the way up to Whistler.
