Interesting Weather Trivia
Did you know that Vancouver’s moderate climate is due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean? This oceanic influence keeps temperatures relatively stable year-round, preventing extreme heat in the summer and severe cold in the winter. The city’s rainforests thrive because of this consistent moisture, contributing to the lush, green environment that Vancouver is famous for.
