English Bay went from almost completely calm to a full-on gale this afternoon.

As the front moved through we got some rain, hail and then glorious sunshine. Welcome to fall in Vancouver.

According to the weather office, right about this time the wind at Pt. Atkinson was W 33 gust 39 knots.  Out at the airport they had gusts to 42 knots – that’s almost 78 km/h.
