Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in PE as well as at Vancouver, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest from June to August; quietest in November.

The year in Vancouver

Vancouver experiences a maritime climate, with relatively mild winters and warm summers. Rain is frequent in winter months, particularly from November to March, so it's advisable to bring waterproof gear during this time.

Busiest
early Jul to late Aug — Summer months offer the best weather and long days, attracting the highest number of tourists.
Quieter, still good
early May to late Jun — Late spring to early summer provides pleasant weather with fewer crowds.
early Sep to late Sep — Early fall enjoys milder weather and diminishing tourist traffic.
early Mar to late Apr — Early spring features blooming nature and moderate temperatures, appealing to those seeking tranquility.
Watch out for rain days can be common in late fall and winter; potential for extreme heat in summer

Written by a language model from the climate figures above. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe.
