Rain & bad weather, Vancouver

No matter what time of year it is, I think there is at least a 50% chance it will rain. Fortunately it doesn't get very cold or hot here but it does rain, alot! I personally love it when it rains but if you don't enjoy being wet, MAKE SURE you have something to wear that is waterproof or an umbrella. This is no joke, Vancouver is a temperate rainforest which means we have enourmous amounts of precipitation. Even if it seems like it's a nice day and there's not a cloud in the sky, it's very possible that within an hour there will be rain shower. Also, because of Vancouver's proximity to water, it is a good idea to dress in layers. Even though it might be hot during the summer day, it cools down alot at night.
