which city in canada has the warmest weather year around?

Answer 1

That would definitely be either Victoria or Vancouver. Right on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, they get the mildest winter weather in Canada. Plus, Victoria and the rest of Vancouver Island is suppose to be really pretty!

Answer 2

It's all in how you slice it.

Canada is a land of extremes, largely because of its size. The places with the mildest winters are Vancouver and surrounding areas, from Victoria east to Chilliwack, and that would include Abbotsford as well.

The places with the warmest summers are more inland. Kelowna and the rest of the Okanagan / Shuswap region, Medicine Hat and the nearby southern prairies, as far east as Winnipeg, and then the far southern parts of Ontario and Quebec, along the St. Lawrence. They can have sweltering humid summer heat.

Overall, Vancouver and Toronto (regions) are probably the warmest places as an annual average.

If you want to look at this in great depth, go to Environment Canada's Climate webpage at..
http://www.climate.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/climate_normals/index_e.html and type (at least) the first three letters of the city's name. Then pick your city from the list that appears. You'll get a big green chart. About 2/3 of the way down is a section entitled "Degree Days" for most places. This is where you find out just how an individual site is thoughout the year. See how much of the time certain temperature thresholds are crossed, and by how much.

It is generally accepted that the line for "below 18°C" co-relates well to how much home heating is required for each month on average. And above 18 for air conditioning. Have fun with this.

I live in Calgary and this web page gives a good example of understanding the green sheet for that city.

The rest of the sheet is loaded with information which should help make you the center of attraction at ANY party.

Answer 3

For a large city - definitely Vancouver, B.C. (British Columbia). A medium size city - Victoria, BC (on the southern tip of Vancouver Island). But both the Vancouver area (nicknamed "the lower mainland") and Vancouver Island get a lot of rain. Same type of climate as Seattle only we seem to have a little less snow.

Other medium size cities would be Kamloops or Kelowna, BC. Kamloops is a little further north than Kelowna, so it is a bit colder there during the winter. Kelowna is in the Okanagan Valley which is always mild during the winter and HOT during the summer (we only get snow for Christmas about once every 4 years). The Okanagan has a booming wine industry and is a tourist mecca during the summer. The Okanagan also has Canada's only desert, massive sparkling lakes, breathtaking ski hills - geez I sound like a commercial. I've lived in many places around the world and almost anywhere in the interior or southern BC is truly beautiful. Plug in any of those city names on a search engine and you'll be able to find photo's.
