If you're tired of rain, maybe don't read the forecast for Burnaby this week. (Spoiler alert: thunderstorms.)

Had enough of the April rain? You probably don't want to know what lies ahead for Burnaby this week.

Today (Monday, April 17) we'll see the same type of weather that's become familiar: cloudy with light rain into the afternoon, with a high of 10 C.

Tomorrow, though, Mother Nature may just mix it up again. The Weather Network says there's a risk of thunderstorms for Burnaby both Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday could see as much as 20 mm of rain, with wind gusts of up to 30 km/h.

Thursday may just bring the sun back, as it's projected to be cloudy with sunny breaks, but as for Friday and into the weekend? Well, let's just say you'll probably get wet: light rain Friday, light rain Saturday, rain Sunday and rain Monday.

All told, we could be looking at as much as 85 mm of rain for the seven-day stretch from tomorrow to next Monday: up to 20 mm Tuesday, five to 10 mm on Wednesday, five millimetres apiece Thursday and Friday, up to 15 mm Saturday, up to 20 mm Sunday and up to 10 mm Monday.

The temperature, meanwhile, isn't showing any signs of warming up, as the week ahead sits at highs of 9, 10 and 11 C.
