Climate and clothing

What to wear: Warmed by off-shore currents and protected by the Coast Mountains, Vancouver enjoys warm, comfortable summers that are rarely hot. June daytime temperatures linger just above 20° Celsius (70° Fahrenheit). Evenings are a bit cooler so it's best to pack a light jacket and sweater. Casual clothes are appropriate for all conference sessions, including evening events.
