I Love Vancouver

I love Vancouver. It is one of the warmest cities in Canada.

10 of the 11 warmest cities in Canada are in British Columbia. The top 5 are Chilliwack, Vancouver, Abbotsford, Nainamo and Victoria, all in B.C. Annual average temperature in these Top 5 cities is approximately 10 C  ( 50 F ) or more.   

You have probably heard that Vancouver is always wet and rainy. This is quite untrue. It is rather a bias or false perception, not a fact. Yes, Vancouver can be wet and rainy, but it is not one of the rainiest cities in Canada. It is not even in the Top 10. The Top 5 rainiest cities in Canada are Prince Rupert, B.C., St. Johns, Newfoundland; Corner Brook, Newfoundland; Terrace, B.C., and Saquenay, Quebec. These Top 5 rainiest cities in Canada have approximately 200 rainy days or more annually.  

Vancouver is one of the most liveable cities in the world. Typical complaint about Vancouver is the very expensive real estate prices and housing costs there. I would say that this is true, not a bias or false perception. But to say that Vancouver is always wet and rainy is quite untrue.

If you are financially well-off, where do you want to live?
