Climate:
We enjoy more sunshine and the
best climate in Canada
throughout the year according to
Environment Canada. First in
total sunshine hours and second
in average daily temperature
after Victoria. Spring and Fall
on Vancouver Island are
beautiful times of year, as is
Summer. Winter is very mild and
we have many visitors who come
here to escape the cold Winters
from far away places.
Famous
local diving
waters ...and here are nature's examples
why:
Here is some information on the local weather patterns:
The condo is located in the
North end of the Cowichan Valley,
on central Vancouver Island,
12 miles south of Nanaimo.
Cowichan is known locally in history as
the "warm land". This
area is on the east side of Vancouver Island
overlooking the Gulf Islands in
south Nanaimo in the village
of Cedar. The condos are 45 miles north of
Victoria and about 12 miles south of Nanaimo. This area enjoys the
second most
temperate climate in temperature throughout the year in all of Canada
after Victoria,( by only one
or two degrees.
Nanaimo has the highest number
of sunshine hours throughout
the year in all of Canada.
April to June averages from 46 to 75 degrees F. June can be as high as 85 degrees F.
Ladysmith and the village of
Cedar reports an average daytime temperature of 46 to 52 degrees F. during the months December to March.
Departure Bay in Nanaimo 12 miles north of the condo, is the
second highest mean temperature throughout the year of anywhere in Canada.
This has been verified by the Federal Government Fisheries Biological Research Station located there. We are actually
second only to Victoria, which is famous for its temperate climate, by a couple of degrees C on average.
However we have less wind and fewer winter storms, being on the leeward side of the Island.
There is hardly ever any snow here in winter.
If it does snow, it normally lasts only a day or two. The wettest months are October and November. Locally, golf usually carries on right through the Winter on Vancouver Island, except for on colder days in January and February. That is one reason this area is so popular, the temperate climate. Vancouver Island is very large and the condo is centrally located between Victoria and the Central and North Island. There is lots to see and there are many interesting places to visit.
Relax at our private beach front fire pit for
that special time together.
