Temperature and
Local Climate |
Temperature and climate:
On Vancouver Island it is always a beautiful time of year.
The condo is located in the Cowichan Valley, known locally in history
as the "warm land", on the east side of Vancouver Island overlooking
the Gulf Islands. We are near Ladysmith, 45 miles north of Victoria
and 12 miles south of Nanaimo. Legally it is located ion the village
of Cedar in Oyster District of Nanaimo but for mail purposes, it
is classed as Ladysmith. This area enjoys the most temperate
temperature throughout the year in all of Canada.
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.
Recently confirmed and
announced by Environment
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. 2005 was an exception when
it has lasted for a week. 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.
