We've had very little rain here in Vancouver this past month of July. Or was the tourist referring to smoke from the forest fires?
My brother, returning by ferry to Horseshoe Bay from Nanaimo, said you couldn't see the Coast Mountains because of the smoke.

Mary, bear with me --- I didn't say NO summer. My remark was very tongue in cheek -- actually Southern Vancouver Island has had no measurable rainfall so far this July, but it has been somewhat cooler, and with some intermittent cloud cover. I do remember some months of July in the past though where there were daily high temperatures in the high 20's to low 30's with not a vestige of cloud anywhere to be seen. Then again, I remember one August in the early 1980's, sailing from Ganges on Saltspring Island down to Bedwell Harbour where it rained all the way and we collected over 3 gallons of rain running off the main boom.
