AREA CONDITIONS

Average sunshine daily is seven hours (one of the highest ratings in the world). Summer (December to February) 17-28 degrees C; with the highs normally tempered by cooling sea breezes. Winter (June to August) 7-28 degrees C, usually mild and sunny. Spring (September to November) and Autumn (March to May) 13-25 degrees C, popular months with visitors as weather is near perfect. Sea temperatures range from 26 degrees C in summer to 19 degrees C in winter so all year round swimming is realistic.

Avalanche Information

The technical data used to produce these bulletins is obtained from a variety of sources, including various government agencies and private companies that participate in an industry-wide daily information exchange program. These contributors provide data, resources, and funding without which the Canadian Avalanche Centre could not provide this avalanche information.
