It’s always sunnier in Victoria: Why life in B.C.’s capital is brighter

Victoria experiences significantly less precipitation due to a rain shadow created by the Olympic Mountains, as explained by meteorologist Armel Castellan.
On average, Victoria receives 837 mm of rain annually, contrasting with nearby areas like Sooke, which gets 1,238 mm, and Port Renfrew, which receives over 2,732 mm.
The rain shadow's effects are most pronounced from mid-October to March, influencing the region's climate and ecosystems.
Greater Victoria is home to the largest remnants of the Garry Oak Meadows, one of Canada's most endangered ecosystems.
