All About Weather for Vancouver Canada

Tips on Weather for Vancouver Canada - What to Wear, When to Expect Rain, and more.



Vancouver has a great climate, even though it rains a fair bit in the winter.

Spring

March to the end of May sees a few more sunny days as the canopy of winter clouds and rain begins to lift.

Expect temperatures in the range of 10 to 18 degrees C (50 to 65 F).

Summer

From June till mid-September.

A great time of year to be in Vancouver and the province of British Columbia. Warm, sunny days are most common, with temperatures in the 20 to 26 degree range. Great time for a picnic in Vancouver!

It rarely gets extremely hot in Vancouver (the hottest summer temps in recent memory were about 30 degrees) but the humidity from the Pacific can make any hot day feel a little extra warm.

Winter in Vancouver

Although mid-November to the end of February are probably the least favorable months for Vancouver weather wise, it's probably what gives the city some of it's character!

Expect cool, damp days with lots of drizzle. Winter daytime high temperatures in Vancouver hover between 6 to 9 degrees. It doesn't actually pour down rain as much as you might think, except in winter storms.

It's important to mention that there are many "rainy" winter days here in the Lower Mainland where the rain is little more than what are commonly called "showers", a light mist drizzling or spitting down.

On the average, Vancouver gets it's only snowfall from mid December to mid January. It usually melts as it hits the ground, but snow has been known to even stay as long as a month in some parts of the lower mainland. In the higher elevations of North and West Vancouver, the snow stays on the ground a little longer.

Vancouver Rain Statistics: On the average, Vancouver gets around 165 days a year with some kind of rainfall. Average monthly rainfall in the winter months between November and March are between 105mm to 165mm.
