Vancouver Climate

Spring

The fresh spring air blows in early to our seaside city. February or March start to see the early crocuses and daffodils popping up, quickly followed by an eruption of spring blossoms. Active locals suddenly emerge from hibernation, flooding the streets on bicycles, inline skates, and running shoes. Pack light clothing along with a few sweaters for good measure.

Summer

Vancouver enjoys warm, comfortable summers that are rarely scorching. June to August daytime temperatures linger just above 20° Celsius (70° Fahrenheit). Evenings, especially in the surrounding mountains, are a bit cooler so it's best to pack a light jacket and sweater.

Autumn

Autumn on the coast is very mild with summer-like weather often stretching into October. By November, the air turns crisper in the mornings and the leaves have started to fall. Bring warm, waterproof clothing if you are visiting at this time of year.

Winter

Our winters are mild and wet-it rarely snows in this part of Canada except, of course, at our local ski hills. From November to February, temperatures average from 0° to 5° Celsius (around 45° Fahrenheit). To stay cozy and dry, you'll need warm clothes, a raincoat and an umbrella. Waterproof footwear is always a good idea.
