According to the AW August forecast, there won't be any 30 C days. https://www.accuweather.com/en/ca/vancouver/v6c/august-weather/53286?year=2026 There might only be 8 days that even get to 25 C.

The Vancouver forecast surer doesn't show any heatwave in August.

Perhaps Vancouver will be considered to be hot when compared to Alaska and Yukon, and that's pretty sad.

You expect summer to be short in Alaska and Yukon, but its so truncated in Vancouver, because of the fall like rainy days that cut it down the sunny days.
