I decided to make a 1991-2020 weatherbox for Victoria BC. I used the University station because it's by far the most representative of the city. The other stations are either right on the coast, or quite far away from the city (which matters a lot in places with such varying microclimates as in British Columbia). Only problem is the Uni station only has data from December 1992, so almost 2 years are missing from the complete 30 year normal. I haven't taken missing data into consideration, so some figures might be very slightly off (for example, about 2 days were missing per month on average when it comes to precipitation).  Sunshine isn't measured as the university, but here's nearby Gonzales 1971-2000 (precipitation is almost identical, so I'm assuming sunshine should be about the same too)  Really nice temperate climate, probably one of my favorite temperate climates in the world. If only spring were a little warmer it might even be an A- for me (and I'd love to have the reverse precipitation pattern), but I'll have to stick with B or B+ as it is. |

C. Probably the most similar BC climate to here, far more than Vancouver.

D
Not completely horrible (it has higher sunshine totals than oceanic Europe), though average temperatures are shitty, with a lack of summer, and little snow (yes, I'm a warmth lover but I'd much rather have snow than cold rain).

I give it a C+. Despite the mediocre score, it's still better than any other Canadian climate.
Kind of sad when such a large country can manage to have only a tiny little corner with a livable climate.

D+
One thing better there (and on most of the island) are the cooler lows in summer. Here they average ~14.5C.

C-, very inoffensive, but very predictable.

Never realised Victoria was such an improvement on Vancouver!

C-
Booooooooooooring.
More specifically, it's too mild and cloudy in winter, and too cool, dry, and sunny in summer, and it has too little temperature variability all year. Also, it has a serious lack of thunderstorms. But it's hard to rate a climate with no horrible season below a C-.

D, far too warm in winter. Rain all winter  . Pleasant summers save it from a terrible ranking. |

Excellent temperatures, very comfortable. It would be an A if it had more rainfall.

C. Probably the most similar BC climate to here, far more than Vancouver. yea when British explorers found the area, they thought it felt more like home than anywhere else on the west coast. Drier climate means native vegetation is open forest rather than temperate rain forest. |

Itโs a C+. Perfect winter temps, good precip pattern, although winter, but especially spring and fall, are too dry. Summer is crummery temps wise but at least itโs dry!
