Climate and Weather
Sometimes called the Hawaii of Canada, Vancouver averages temperatures of 23°C in the summer and about 10°C in the winter. During the winter, snow falls on the nearby mountains, but seldom in the city. The world renowned Whistler Mountain Ski Resort, home of many World Cup ski races, is only an hour and a half drive from the city.
The City of Vancouver enjoys an average of about 2,000 hours of sunshine a year and has the most temperate climate in Canada. However, it does tend to rain here, especially in the fall and winter months. It is advisable to bring good rain gear and to prepare for winter temperatures that may dip to around 0° C once in a while.
Spring and summer months see many sunny days and the beaches of Vancouver are often crowded with sun bathers during the height of the summer season in July and August. |
