Best: Jul · Great: Jun, Aug-Sep
Weather shifts through genuine seasons here, from January's cool stretch to July's warmth, with rain a little heavier around November and lighter around July — real variation, but nothing as sharp as a true monsoon or Mediterranean dry season. In July, expect highs around 22°C with rain on roughly 7 days of the month.
Vancouver Island's rainforests and whale-watching tours are the coastal highlights, alongside Vancouver's own parks and harbor.
Try fresh BC salmon and Pacific Northwest-style seafood.
