🌂 The Vancouver Rain Myth — What Visitors Get Wrong
Vancouver's reputation as a rainy city is largely earned in the other 9 months of the year. June and July are genuinely sunny and dry — the two months with the least rainfall in Vancouver's calendar. The city gets ~46mm of rain in June and just ~32mm in July, compared to ~147mm in November. If you're coming for the World Cup, you've picked the best possible weather window.
- November: ~147mm rain, ~18 rainy days
- December: ~154mm rain, ~20 rainy days
- January: ~154mm rain, ~18 rainy days
- Grey, overcast, mild (avg 5–8°C)

- June: ~46mm rain, ~10 rainy days
- July: ~32mm rain, ~7 rainy days
- Up to 16 hours of daylight
- Warm, often sunny (avg 18–22°C high)

June "rainy days" typically means a brief morning shower or drizzle that clears by afternoon — not all-day downpours. Locals often spend June evenings in shorts. The key: layer up (a waterproof layer, a mid-layer), and you'll be comfortable in virtually any condition Vancouver throws at you in summer.
