What is the weather like all year in Vancouver BC?
All year? Oh wow, that's a lot of weather to describe!
Most our weather comes east from off the pacific ocean. We are considered the “rain coast” and for good reason. We get alot of rain.
We have 4 specific seasons here. In Autumn (oct-dec) we get lots of rain, and it starts to get a chill in the air around halloween. Sometimes it snows, mostly it rains, sometimes it storms…we've had some real bad storms in the past few years.
Our winter (jan-mar) we usually see some snow. Rarely it ever snows on Xmas though. Usually a huge dump of snow a few times a month, and then it turns to rain and washes away. Sometimes it stays for longer. Sometimes we get -20c as the weather comes from the north instead of west. Our ski hills get loaded down with snow while we are getting rain in the valley.
Our spring sees more rain, and rain, and rain (apr-jun) Or overcast and grey most days. The days that are sunny, you can tell because just about everyone takes advantage of it, and is outside! then its back to rain and rain. Sometimes the months can be drier…for example this june we hardly got any rain, but it was chillier than normal.
Our summer blasts in around late june until september. Some days inland we can get to 38c. Near the ocean it is always about 5c cooler. Some summers we can have 5 sunny hot days, then 1 rain day, then more sunny hot days – some years it will only rain once a month. Hottest I can remember we got to was 48c. People are starting to buy airconditioners for their homes now…we never needed them 10 years ago.
Hope this helps!
