Vancouver weather

Vancouver, by Canadian standards, is relatively warm in winter with temperatures rarely falling below freezing and with little to no snow. The summer months are pleasant and dry, but cooler compared to other Canadian cities, with summer temperatures averaging around 22°C at their hottest. 

The weather in Vancouver can also be wet, with November to March seeing the most rainfall, and July and August receiving the least. If your flight to Vancouver is in the spring or autumn, you will experience a true and defined season, rather than feeling the weather changing abruptly between winter and summer as in other regions.
