Q: I'm think about going to college in southern British Columbia, but I'm worried about whether I'll like the weather. I would be in Langley.
A: First of all.... do you mean the Vancouver region? Because the weather and weather patterns varies a lot even a few hours from Vancouver, or on Vancouver Island. As for Vancouver, while it does rain a lot there, it definitely isn't every day. In the winter you can expect gray skies for a few weeks at a time, even rainy days for a few weeks at a time, but spring is gorgeous and summer is even better, sometimes with no rain at all. Here are some actual stats on the number of rainy days, the link also shows average temperature and precipitation hours, plus lots of other details. "Although popularly thought of as being a rainy city, Vancouver has only 166 days per year with measurable precipitation on average, and 289 days with measurable sunshine. Nonetheless, from November until March, it is not uncommon for there to be 20 consecutive days with some amount of rain. The weather pattern known as the Pineapple Express often brings warm rainstorms in the winter." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Vancouver
