Unlike the Seatle airport, the Vancouver airport is right along the water, so in the summer months, the temperature is often 5 or even 10 degrees cooler at the airport than on the eastern side of the city. Go the eastern parts of the greater Vancouver area, and you are in areas of the city that can and do exceed 100F.
Same thing happens in Seattle and the airport is fairly close to the water too, it just happens to be on a plateau.
Wow so the average high in the east suburbs is close to 30-32c? Do you even believe that? Why do Canadians like to distort the facts? Or you consider your city part of the "eastern side of greater Vancouver area"?
During heat waves neighborhoods close to the water (like the airport) will be significantly cooler than inland neighborhoods. On an average day, inland neighborhoods will be more like 25C/77F. Averages for an eastern suburb in the Fraser Valley: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilliwack#Climate
And that is not even close to 10 degrees warmer than the airport.
Yeah, I never said that. You're thinking of someone else's post.
But during a heat wave the airport will easily be 10 degrees cooler than inland neighborhoods. Happens every year. It must happen in Seattle too..
I didn't say you did. Someone from Canada claimed that on the previous page. He also said inland places in Vancouver area exceed 100f which is an absolute lie.

Depends where. My mother lives about 50 minutes from downtown Vancouver. It's is usually 10C warmer there than the reported weather at the airport in spring and summer. In winter, they will more likely have snow, than the airport or downtown.
It has gotten as high as 35C or 95 F.
Of course the further inland you go, the hotter it gets, where 40C or 104 F has been recorded in places like Osoyoos.
So far though, this July has been one of the worse in living memory.
These places have nothing to do with Vancouver. They are not part of the Vancouver metro area.Yakima and Kennewick, WA average 88-90f in July and August but that has nothing to do with Seattle or even Western Washington.

Sigh. Both Abbotsford and Chilliwack are suburbs of Vancouver and both have gone over 100F, as I showed above. You don't have to go to the interior of B.C. to find record temps of 100F or higher, nor do you have to leave the greater Seattle area to find similar records.
Chilliwack is 102 km from Vancouver. That is not a suburb. Abbotsford is "only" 73 km from Vancouver. These are completely separate cities. Coquitlam is the furthest east that can be considered a suburb.
I was refereeing to the post below. I know some of these places have exceeded 100F (probably once or twice in history), but to say they do exceed it (as if it is something that happens regularly) or they are often 5-10 degrees warmer than the airport is one big lie.
