Question Hello there! We are planning an outdoor wedding just north of Victoria BC Canada (in Mill Bay, BC Canada) and are wondering if you would be able to tell us what the weather is likely to be?
Cheers!

Answer Patricia,
At this stage, it is impossible to tell what the weather will be like in early October for the wedding. Your best bet is to check back with me about a week or so ahead of time. All I can tell you now is that by October, temperaures are beginning to cool down rapidly, and it is also starting to get more active with storms coming in from the Pacific Ocean. However, that is still early enough in the season that you may very well be able squeak out a nice day. Again, check back with me in the fall.
