So which range of climates would you prefer? They lie roughly around the same latitudes as each other. Obviously British Columbia is about 3 times the size of the British Isles, so that might make a difference in people's choices. Let's define the British Isles as the following: England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey.
Junter - you may as well have used the Netherlands instead - it would have been a lot more accurate - British isles will confuse folk as it's not one climate however much folk try to reinforce that stereotype .
seems to offer better than anything the British Isles throws up in way of the crucial sunshine hours / temps combination - looks to have beaten Porstmouth on that one - only downside is the winter rain seems excessive . Would that be like drizzle or rain i wonder ?
if it's mostly drizzle then it would require a test drive for sure

It's typical PNW heavy rain with not that many rain days in relation to what it receives.
Having a proper Med summer with comfy temps will make up for that though, its winters will be no worse than say Swansea, Plymouth or Cardiff to be honest.
B87 - difficult one - tbf there isn't as much as a cigarette paper in it to be fair - it's pretty subjective .
I was going more my the max, rather than the mins (1981- 2010 Solent) , and also basing it more on the warmer months since they are the 'outside months'
The rain /drizzle could be an issue in Nanaimo more than Pompey - both have similar sunshine levels . Nanaimo readings are from the airport - important becasue someone will be on here in a minute telling us it's drier and warmer down by the harbourside or the scouts hut .
Anyway,i'm 50/50 at the minute on this one - a chance of snow in BC might swing it for me .
And yeah - Vancouver is a no no - i wouldn't choose that climate - not for a big clock ! - far worse than Portsmouth, and even worse than London
