Traveller notes on Victoria, BC in April
Other months in Victoria, BC
Victoria's forum calls August one of the reliably warm, dry months — t-shirt and flip-flop weather, part of the region's summer drought season when lawns go brown and campfire bans kick in. Regulars flag the wind as a constant here, visible in the wind-bent trees along Dallas Road, more than any real chance of rain this time of year.
