General Considerations

• 1). Enjoy a maritime climate much milder than the rest of Canada in Vancouver. Winters are quite gray and rainy, but warm enough that snow is rare. Summers are warm, seldom hot, and receive more sunshine than the other seasons. The average January temperature is 37 degrees F, and the average July temperature is 63 degrees F.
  
  
• 2). Check out what festivals, attractions and live performances are happening (see below).
  
  
• 3). Take care of your flight, transportation and accommodations (see Related eHows).
  
  
• 4). Check Vancouver's weather forecast shortly before leaving.
