Vancouver

What To Wear

Vancouver is a casual town with mild weather year-round. The best way to tackle the weather is by wearing layers, and packing smart casual clothes to see you through most situations. If you are doing business while in Vancouver, standard North American business attire is appropriate in most office settings.

Winter

Vancouver’s winters are mild and wet - it rarely snows in this part of Canada except, of course, on the local ski hills. From November to February, temperatures average from 5° to 10° Celsius during the day (around 40° - 50° Fahrenheit). To stay cozy and dry, you'll need warm clothes, a raincoat and an umbrella. Waterproof footwear is always a good idea. If you’re heading up into the mountains, make sure you bring your snow gear including hats, gloves and scarves. 

Spring

The fresh spring air blows in early to our coastal city. By February or March, you'll see early crocuses and daffodils popping up, quickly followed by an eruption of spring blossoms. Active locals suddenly emerge from hibernation, flooding the streets on bicycles, inline skates, and running shoes. Mornings and evenings can still be chilly, and there are still showers at this time of year, so pack light clothing that you can layer, along with a sweater or two, and a raincoat. 

Summer

Vancouver enjoys warm, comfortable summers that are rarely scorching. June to August daytime temperatures linger just above 20° Celsius (70° Fahrenheit). Evenings, especially in the surrounding mountains, can be cool, so it's best to pack a light jacket and sweater.

Fall

Autumn on the coast is very mild with summer-like weather often stretching into early October. Even if you enjoy a beautifully sunny day, mornings and evenings will be crisp, so make sure to pack something warmer. You’ll likely also encounter some rain, so if you’re spending time outside enjoying the fall foliage, make sure you pack a raincoat or umbrella.
