Victoria's UV Index
Victoria, Canada, usually has a UV index that ranges from low to moderate, increasing during the summer months but rarely reaching very high levels due to its northern location and coastal climate. The city experiences mild, wet winters and dry, warm summers. Spring and fall are transitional with moderate rainfall and temperatures, making it one of Canada's mildest climates.
Weather Seasons
Victoria's weather is influenced by its position on Vancouver Island, leading to less snow and cooler summer heat than inland areas. Winters are wetter compared to summer, with most rain falling between October and March. The temperature rarely drops below freezing in winter, and summer highs are comfortable, often below 25°C (77°F).
