Although unlike London Vancouver also has a serious dry season. I have several friends from the UK and Ireland that just love summer here.
Anyone bitching about the rain should shut up now, if you didn't take advantage of the 3 solid months of sunshine we just had, that is your fault!
And actually, after that extended dry period I am actually enjoying the mild rain currently. Last night was amazingly mild! Of course, living in extreme south Van, the rain comes in more of a wave pattern than the constant drizzle of the North Shore area. Yesterday is would rain hard for an hour here, then stop for an hour, then hard for an hour again, and we even got a few fleeting rays of sun around 4pm.
