Spring has officially sprung in Greater Victoria but the balmy temperatures, sunshine and blue sky are reminiscent of summer time – and locals have not been shy to show their springtime joy.
Temperatures hit a high of 21 degrees Wednesday and 15 degrees are expected on Thursday.
The warm weather will take a break over the weekend – with highs of 12 degrees and a chance of rain on Friday and Saturday, before the sun is expected to return Sunday.
