Sunday rain, cruise ships downtown, Lions at four.

Morning's sitting at 16°C with a light rainshower rolling through—grab a layer if you're heading out, and UV's at 5.0, so even with the cloud cover it's worth the sunscreen if you're out for a few hours. Sunset's at 8:14 tonight, so you've got nearly 14 hours of daylight to work with.

If you're taking the bus anywhere downtown this morning before noon, the 16 Arbutus and 14 UBC are both running detours until 12:00 PM because of cruise ship traffic. They're heading via Richards and Pender instead of their usual routes—not a massive wrench, but worth knowing if you're timing something tight. There's also a detour on the 616 heading to Ladner if that's your route. And heads up: the Highway 1 just south of 1st Avenue had a vehicle incident early this morning with left and centre lanes blocked—crews were on scene as of 5:37 AM, so check conditions if you're driving that stretch.

One more thing for the transit calendar: Oakridge-41st Avenue Station's closing early starting Monday (Aug 24) through late September on Sunday to Thursday nights—it'll shut at 11:00 PM instead of 1:30 AM while they finish roof work. Trains won't be stopping there during those closures, so plan around it if that's your stop.

Locally, there's a Tsawwassen artist making waves with Coast Salish designs woven into handmade leather goods—worth looking into if you're after something with real story behind it. And a Vancouver woman's logged a million steps in August for BC Cancer research—that's the kind of thing that sticks with you.

If you're thinking about dinner, there's new Peruvian chicken happening in the city—a couple of teams have launched delivery-only concepts, so if you've been craving that vibe, there's fresh options. The Botanist's also got Amanda Healey stepping in as executive chef after seven years running things in Sydney, so that's worth keeping on the radar.

Tonight's got some real options if you're feeling like getting out. The BC Lions take on Saskatchewan at BC Place at 4:00 PM, so if you're into football that's the main event. The Guess Who are at the Arch at 8:30 PM if live rock's more your speed, and there's Angine de Poitrine at The Pearl at 8:00 PM if you want something a bit different. Rain'll be light, so nothing stopping you from any of it.

Enjoy the day.
