Weather

In Alaska, the climate varies widely and changes often, from the temperate rain forests in the southeast to the barren tundra in the north. In the summertime, much of Alaska experiences sunlight 24 hours a day, with round-the-clock darkness in the winter.

If you are visiting Vancouver between July and October, you will likely have excellent weather. The rainy season often starts in the mid-October. If you are coming to the city for a ski holiday the best time to visit is February; the region has a great record for excellent ski conditions during this month, once you get to altitudes above the constant rain.
