Field notes
Oceanic mild (Pacific Northwest) — Canada's mildest year-round climate. Winter (December–February, 5–6°C average) is mild and damp with rare snow. Summer (June–August, 16–18°C average) is mild and dry. Annual rainfall (~600mm) is meaningfully lower than Vancouver's because of the Olympic-Mountains rain-shadow. Effectively a year-round-mild base.
