Rainy Vancouver Weather during October - Most Livable City

The rain just goes on and on… this is typical Vancouver weather at this time of the year.

The gloomy gray sky has hovered above the city since the morning with no apparent end in sight for the rain. This rain, this slow and endless shower, is trademark Vancouver weather. It’s October, and the leaves start loosing their photosynthetic green. From this point on, the weather goes downhill as Vancouver (located on the west coast of Canada, right on the Pacific) gets bombarded all winter long with huge precipitating air patterns.

But look on the bright side of things: we rarely get any snow here! A “white Christmas” is almost unheard of in Vancouver. Again, being next to the Pacific Ocean plays a huge part as the water keeps the temperature here constantly between 0 - 10 Celsius. I guess I don’t hate the weather here after all. Look at the winter in Eastern Canada and the United States and compare it with the West Coast, the difference is night and day! We don’t even need snow tires.

I guess this temperate weather is another contribution factor in making Vancouver the best city to live in. The winter is “a bit” wet, but manageable, and the sunny summer temperature never exceeds 35 Celsius.

Well… I guess I appreciate our weather here after all.
