Question: What is the weather like and what should I pack to wear?

When you are planning your trip to Vancouver, British Columbia there are going to be many questions that you want answers to. I have tried to put as many Q's and A's in this section for you to find what you are looking for. You can always search this page for the answers you are looking for with the 'search tool' that is located at the top right of the page. This information should help you with some of the questions you have about Vancouver, BC. If you have a question that is not on this page email me with your question and I will do my best to answer it, or give you the resources you need.

Answer: Vancouver has long winters from December - March, and the rain does visit us for a long time. The summer is from July - September and amazing, and the beaches are always full. Spring welcomes us in April with cherry blossoms, and lasts until June. Fall brings beautiful leaves of all colors and begins late September, continuing on until November. The weather is interchangeable and can be cheery, and moody at times. Eventually you get used to Vancouver weather and see all of the beauty that surrounds this wonderful city.
