weather

For friends who have lived in Vancouver for a long time, the name "Raincouver" should be familiar. Vancouver has a temperate maritime climate with more precipitation, and is also known as the rainy capital of Canada. Because Vancouver's weather system is influenced by the Pacific Ocean, it is difficult to predict the weather. The weather in Melbourne is relatively easy to predict, because you often experience four seasons in one day. In a word, the climate of both cities is relatively livable, although it is somewhat unpredictable. But on the whole, Melbourne has more sunshine than Vancouver! ~
