Climate and weather averages
What Victoria's weather is normally like, month by month, from the official Environment Canada climate normals.
A climate normal is a thirty-year average, not a forecast and not last year. Comparing a normal against today’s weather is how you tell whether a day is unusual for the time of year. This page uses the 1981-2010 normals for VICTORIA INT'L A (Victoria International Airport).
