Vancouver weather at a glance

• Vancouver has a strong ocean influence: **mild but very rainy winters**, and **drier, more comfortable summers**.
• From roughly Oct–Mar, it often feels more “wet and grey” than deeply cold—rain gear matters.
• Summer (Jun–Aug) is often low-humidity and walkable, though sunny days can still feel warm in direct sun.
• Mountains and the coast create micro-variations (wind, showers, elevation). Layers help if you mix city time with hikes.
• Packing works best when you plan for rain (especially fall/winter), cooler evenings, and wind.
