One of the best times to visit Victoria is March to May. The region sees some of the country’s mildest weather and the driest summers, so while you might experience a light drizzle here and there, plan on comfortable temperatures in the spring time. Winter frosts give way to cherry blossoms and azaleas, and the chilly cloud cover retreats to reveal more sunny skies. Average high temperatures range from the low 50s to the low 60s. Now is the time to get outside and enjoy the beautiful sunshine.

There were 44,588,324,077 blossoms counted in the 44th Greater Victoria Flower Count which is almost 6 times as many people live on our planet.
