Dry trick-or-treating likely in Vancouver Halloween forecast
Vancouver's record for most days of rain in October has been broken, but forecast shows hope for dry evening
Parents holding out hope their little ghouls and goblins won't get soaked trick-or-treating tonight in Vancouver may be rewarded.
Today's rain is expected to end in the late afternoon, says Environment Canada.
That means — for prime trick-or-treating hours — the forecast is mainly cloudy with a 30 per cent chance of showers.
This month, the record for most days of rain in Vancouver has been broken: 28 of 31, surpassing the old record of 26, said Environment Canada.

—@EC_BCweatherStill, it's often dry in Vancouver for trick-or-treating, said Environment Canada, only raining five out of the past 16 years at Vancouver International Airport between 5:00 and 9:00 p.m. PT on Oct. 31.
Yesterday was one of the rare exceptions in a dreary month, with enough sun that paddle boarders took to False Creek, in costume.
