What makes Gibsons weather different from other BC coast towns?
Gibsons sits on the Sunshine Coast, but its weather is heavily shaped by the Strait of Georgia. This means milder winters than inland areas, with average January highs near 6°C, and cooler summers often in the low 20s°C. The real distinction is the persistent marine cloud – you’ll see more overcast days than in Vancouver, especially in spring and fall. The town also gets about 1,200 millimetres of rain annually, concentrated from October to March.
