What the numbers don't tell you
July is the driest, sunniest month and the start of peak season, with afternoons around 23 °C, Canada Day on 1 July at Canada Place, the Celebration of Light fireworks over English Bay on three nights from late July and cruise passengers filling downtown. Temperatures are comfortable, rarely above 28 °C, though heat domes have broken records in recent years. Rain falls on about four days. Book early.
The Vancouver Folk Music Festival at Jericho Beach and the Khatsahlano street party fill the weekends. Wildfire smoke can arrive from the interior in a bad year. The Stanley Park seawall is busy all day. Daylight lasts until after nine. For the warmest month with the Pride parade and the PNE, see August.
