Raincouver: While it does rain a lot there, it definitely isn’t every day – and while a light drizzle is still called rain, it sure doesn’t prevent you from doing anything. In the winter you can expect gray skies for a few weeks at a time, even rainy days for a few weeks at a time, but spring is gorgeous and summer is even better, sometimes with no rain at all. And, since the temperature is mild, never getting that cold and rarely getting overly hot, it is great for outdoor activities year round.

Here are some actual stats on the number of rainy days, the link also shows average temperature and precipitation hours, plus lots of other details. “Although popularly thought of as being a rainy city, Vancouver has only 166 days per year with measurable precipitation on average, and 289 days with measurable sunshine. Nonetheless, from November until March, it is not uncommon for there to be 20 consecutive days with some amount of rain. The weather pattern known as the Pineapple Express often brings warm rainstorms in the winter.”
