Anyways, talking about the dry season on the West Coast, Vancouver just had its first rain shower last night in 23 days and Victoria is on their 31st day of no precipitation, while White Rock is on their 33rd.

The major differences are that Halifax (& region) has earlier springs, slightly warmer summer and fall seasons, and less wind and snow than NL. The rain and fog amounts are similar to St. John's, and St. John's actually has slightly higher temps in the winter. Naturally when you go farther north it's a bit harsher in general. The East coast areas, however, may be less affected by future global warming than many other parts of Canada.
Vancouver usually has dry summers, and this year seems somewhat normal to me.
