General Considerations

• 1). Decide how important dry weather is to you. While the coast isn't quite as rainy as most people expect, there's a fairly long damp season. Still, Victoria enjoys a much warmer, more temperate climate than anywhere else in Canada throughout most of the year.
  
  
• 2). Plan to come when your favorite flowers are in bloom. The "garden city" of Canada is filled with blossoms and spring flowers in mid-March, which are then replaced by a blaze of rhododendrons in April and May, followed by roses and other summer flowers between June and September.
  
  
• 3). Take care of your flight, transportation and accommodations (see Related eHows).
  
  
• 4). Check the weather forecast for Victoria shortly before leaving, and pack your bags accordingly.
