Victoria, Canada

There are 74 ocean destinations in our catalog, and Victoria's numbers hold their own: a 99/100 sun score at its July peak, when rain interrupts barely 6% of days. For a long-weekend city trip in a mild oceanic climate, the data is a good starting point.

Across a typical year, afternoon temperatures swing between 7°C (February) and 24°C (July). Rain is most likely in December, when about 60% of days see meaningful rainfall, and least likely in July (6%). Note that average highs never reach 24°C in any month — pack for mild weather rather than hot.

Averaged by season, sun scores land at 63 for spring, 97 for summer, 55 for autumn and 40 for winter — with typical afternoons of 13°, 22°, 14° and 7°C respectively. Summer wins on the numbers and winter loses them; everything in between is a trade-off between warmth and crowds.
