The city of Vancouver, located in British Columbia, Canada, has a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen climate classification Cfb). Its summer months are typically dry and modestly warm, while the rest of the year is rainy, especially between October and March. The region has frequent cloudy and overcast skies during the late fall, winter, and spring.

Like the rest of the British Columbia Coast, the city is tempered by the Alaska Current, which has its origins in the milder North Pacific current and is also, to an extent, sheltered by the mountains of Vancouver Island to the west.
