Spent the month of March @ Qualicum Beach this March. Started with a trace of snow, ended up around 10-15 degrees at the end. Put around 4,000Km on my daughter's car touring the island. Wonderful experience. Many affordable properties with attractive settings. Both our kids have moved to the area from Ontario and we can't wait to join them.
As a life-long climatology research guy I need to add a couple of comments here. Firstly, the south-central (eastern) coastal region of Vancouver Island does not actually have a temperate-rainforest climate zone. It is a Køppen Csb (warm Mediterranean) climate. Which means it receives more than 60% of its annual rainfall in just 4 months of the year (Nov thru Feb) and only 40% over the remaining 8 months of the year. So a distinct WET/DRY seasonal weather pattern. Plus, three months of the year (Jul/Aug/Sep) all receive less than 40mm of rain each. These factors put Nanaimo firmly in the Køppen Csb (warm Mediterranean) climate zone. The April thru Sep (6 month) period only gets (on average) 255mm of rain...which is very dry for any northern global latitude location. Compared to nearby Victoria which only gets an incredibly low 137mm of rain...which is actually classed as an arid-semi-desert location. Just to note, the Victoria to Nanaimo region actually receives less rainfall than Nice (France) Barcelona (Spain) Dubrovnik (Croatia) Trieste (Italy) and even Rome (Italy)...from April thru October....that's how dry our "dry season" actually is...to put it into perspective. That's why the Cowichan Valley region is an excellent vineyard, wine growing area...and fresh Croatian, Italian, and Turkish FIGS grow abundantly here in Nanaimo. Not to mention that all the local grass burns off to yellow come July every summer. The average high temps in Nanaimo for September is 20.9°C, October 14.6°C and November 9.3°C...a little different than your figures. Living here in Nanaimo from say early May through to early October always reminds me of my spring/summers spent in the south of France, northern Italy, and the Balkans region. It's very similar, and in fact, Nanaimo experiences a milder winter than many locations actually situated in the real Mediterranean...for example, it's warmer than places such as Venice, Zagreb, and even northern parts of Greece. Which is precisely why my wife and I moved here 😎😎😎
I plan to scape Toronto and move to Vancouver islands in the next 2 years. If you lived in Toronto and Vancouver islands what are your pros and cons? Appreciate it.
Lol…Vancouver including the island….rain, rain, rain and after days of it, more rain!!!!dark dismal place!!!! Beautiful place to visit nice to go back the Alberta where the suns shines almost always
There’s a video that shows the snow storm where a foot of snow fell. And now it’s all melted as stated in the video. Thank god there are people like you holding the world to a higher standard. You’re a vigilante hero that never sleeps. Thank you for your service.
