Summer Sunday: World Cup, live music, and 14 hours of daylight.

Morning—it's 14°C and mainly sunny, which means get outside early if you're planning something. UV's running high at 7.0, so sunscreen isn't optional if you're heading to the park or the seawall. You've got 16 hours and 15 minutes of daylight today, and sunset doesn't drop until 9:22 PM, so the evening window is generous. No rain coming—just solid summer Sunday weather.

Transit-wise, nothing's hitting you today. The 144 SFU and 110 Lougheed detours from earlier in the week are still running through Monday, but those are Burnaby routes. Downtown's clear. Monday things get busier (the 16 Arbutus and 14 UBC both get detoured 6 AM to noon for cruise ship traffic), so if you're planning an early run next day, plan around that.

Up the highway, Squamish's dealing with an aggressive deer forcing trail closures—don't expect to settle into a quiet hike up there this weekend. On the flip side, Squamish Search and Rescue just opened a new base after a decade of planning, so at least the mountains have better backup now. Closer to home, there's a café on the Drive that got ordered closed over sanitary violations, so you can cross that one off your list.

If you're hungry, Chupito's iconic yellow shipping container is back in Mount Pleasant—grab a drink there if you're in the neighbourhood. Word is Elijah Wood was in Chinatown grabbing sourdough pizza last week, so Chinatown's worth a wander if you're in the mood for proper food without a fuss.

Tonight's where it gets good. New Zealand vs Egypt kicks off at BC Place at 6 PM as part of the World Cup, and the energy around the stadium's been wild—Canada's 6-0 win had the whole city buzzing, and this match should draw a crowd. If you want to catch that but stick to something smaller, there's live music dotted around: KOKOROKO at the Commodore at 7 PM, Drake Milligan at the Hollywood Theatre at 7 PM, or HONNE's 10 Year Anniversary Tour at the Vogue at 8 PM. Pick your vibe—stadium roar or intimate venue—and you're sorted.

If you're catching a match at BC Place, you've got plenty of light and a mild evening ahead. If you're heading to a show, same deal. This is the kind of Sunday that doesn't come around every week in Van—use it.
