Weather: Vancouver — February
It's a rainy period, but great for indoor activities, museums, and lower prices.
☔ Climate Overview
February is a wet time to visit Vancouver. Expect cold weather with temperatures around 7°C during the day. This is one of the wettest months—waterproof gear is essential.
