Check the live forecast above before heading to Alice Lake Provincial Park, then pack layers and rain gear—mountain weather near Squamish can shift quickly even when Vancouver weather seems calm.
What makes Alice Lake weather different from the coast?
Alice Lake sits in the Coast Mountains, about 10 kilometres north of Squamish and 65 kilometres north of Vancouver. The park’s elevation and surrounding peaks create a microclimate: cooler nights, stronger afternoon winds, and more variable cloud cover than the Lower Mainland. Summer daytime highs typically reach the low-to-mid 20s Celsius, but a passing marine layer can drop temperatures by 8–10 degrees within an hour.
How should I prepare for camping at Alice Lake?
The Alice Lake campground is popular from May to October. Even in July, overnight lows can fall to 10–12°C, so a warm sleeping bag and a waterproof tent fly are essential. Check the Alice Lake weather 14 day outlook on the live forecast above to time your visit. During wildfire season (typically July–September), monitor the Alice Lake wildfire risk via the BC Wildfire Service before you go.
Can I get Alice Lake weather hourly updates?
Yes. The live forecast above includes an hourly breakdown. For real-time data, Environment Canada’s Squamish station provides updates every hour, which you can also check for Squamish weather.
Is Alice Lake weather similar to Vancouver weather?
Partly. Both are influenced by Pacific systems, but Alice Lake is often 2–4°C cooler and receives more precipitation due to orographic lift over the mountains. Vancouver weather tends to be milder and less windy.
When is the best time to visit Alice Lake Provincial Park?
Late July through early September offers the most stable weather, with lower rain probability and warmer lake water for swimming. Check the Alice Lake weather 14 day forecast before booking your campsite.
