Climate Chart of Victoria, Canada

Climate overview

Temperature

Monthly mean temperatures are lowest in February / December, at 4.7 °C, and highest in August, at 18.9 °C. These figures describe average temperatures for each month, not daytime maximum temperatures, so they should not be read as the full range visitors may encounter during a day. The unweighted mean of the monthly temperature means is 10.8 °C. It offers a compact summary of the calendar-month averages, but is not a day-weighted annual average and does not show daily fluctuations.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall reaches its monthly high in November, at 5.44 mm/day, while the monthly low is in July, at 0.34 mm/day. The measurements are daily means, not monthly rainfall totals; the lower average does not guarantee rain-free days or indicate how often rain occurs. The unweighted mean across the calendar months’ daily rainfall means is 2.67 mm/day. This provides a broad summary, but cannot describe the timing or intensity of individual showers.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine duration is highest in July, at 13.25 hours/day, and lowest in December, at 3.45 hours/day. These averages can help with planning for outdoor daylight, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and does not guarantee clear conditions on a particular day. The unweighted mean of the monthly sunshine-duration averages is 8.26 hours/day per day. It summarizes the monthly means rather than describing the sunshine visitors will receive on any specific date.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall reaches its highest monthly average in February, at 4.32 mm/day; the unweighted mean across the monthly snowfall averages is 0.82 mm/day. These are daily mean amounts, not monthly totals, and do not establish how many days have snow, snow depth or snow cover, or whether skiing conditions are present.
