Too cool? The average temps for Long Island are almost the same as Vancouver and your 1274 mm average is not much different than our average.
Couldn't find your amount of sunshine. I'll guess that Vancouver has less overall sun annually since low clouds bunch up against our mountains.
Just because the average temps are similar doesn't mean he can't find the climate too cool. He probably finds his own climate too cool. Similarly, I find Brownsville, TX far too hot even though it has similar averages to my climate, I find my own climate far too hot.

I'm originally from NYC, which is roughly 5F warmer than Vancouver overall, not a big difference, but it's very noticeable during the warmer half of the year, which I value most. Your highest temperature of 2015 was NYC's average high for its third warmest month of 2015, that brought the rating way down for me. The precipitation amounts may be similar in terms of totals, but the amount of days with precipitation is noticeably greater in Vancouver.
Long Island (and NYC, for that matter) isn't exactly my first choice for warmth, but at least it feels close to my ideal climate for a large part of the year, Vancouver doesn't.
C-
Summers are 10 F too cold and winters are 10 F too warm. Late spring and summer are too dry and December is too wet. Diurnal range is too low all year. It's a real shame November through January were so cool but didn't have any accumulating snow.
Similar latitude as well, with 40.42" for NYC and 41.06" for Motueka.
