Anything less than 20C/68F feels cool to me, and Vancouver is below this temperature for most of the summer.
What do you mean 68F? Seattle and Vancouver both get to 75F during the summer. I agree that the nights are cold, but 75F is not by any means! It's not San Francisco.

As for the nights, they're actually 57F-upper 50sF, not lower.

I mean that it probably doesn't reach 20C/68F until the afternoon on many summer days. The high may be 22C/72F, but it's not like it is that temperature for the whole day. 75F would be an above average day for Vancouver. Why is Seattle coming in to this?

Also, I found two other weather stations in Vancouver, and the average lows are about 1C/2F cooler in summer.

^^ Those low temps are usually reached very early in the morning around 4-5am.. Most evenings even around midnight would still be around high 50s low 60s F.

Oh I see what you mean. And deneb's right, even here in SoCal our low temp of 65F for a summer night is usually reached just before dawn. Then, it starts warming up again.

Vancouver is not warm enough and New Orleans is too hot and humid. I voted for New Orleans just because I'd like to experience the thunderstorms (but hopefully no major hurricanes like Katrina) but I'd prefer the temperatures of Vancouver.

Vancouver...though it can be dry in the summer (love when it is cooler and humid). I'd take either one though over New Orlean's gawd awful humidity.
