"Fall clothing" Top 5 Page for this destination climate preparation Tip by Carmanah

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: We call autumn "fall" in Vancouver. It's somewhat of a non-event in Vancouver when compared to elsewhere in Canada because our trees are evergreen and don't change colour, but it still occurs from mid-September to mid-November. This is actually a very dry and sunny time to be in Vancouver. September is still very summery and warm - temperatures in the high teens and 20's Celsius (65-75 degrees F), but it gets down to the single digits Celsius (40's F) by November.

People start putting away their summer clothes by late September, swapping shorts and sandals for jeans, long sleeves, and closed toe shoes. Jackets are often light or wool - lots of emphasis on new fall fashion styles which are often about earth tones. People start wearing sweaters (jumpers) and wool coats. Gloves and scarves might be worn when it's chilly. By late October Vancouver's famous rainy season kicks in, so expect a lot of gloomy grey skies.
