In Canada's western coastline, there is mainly wetter weather, and because it is so close to the Pacific Ocean, the climate is altered. The summers are cooler, and the winters are more mild, which makes for perfect camping temperature! The mountains perform relief, by blocking most of the precipitation that clouds would bring to the interior, which is why there is such a heavy downfall all throughout the year. The total annual precipitation is around 1225 mm, and the average temperature is 9.5°C.
