I am using Penticton, BC, in my case because it is the most reliable weather station for my area.
Driest month = February at 19.8 mm (note: October used to be the wettest month of the year from 1971-2000, but has now slipped to 4th spot with the new 30 year period).
Wettest month = June at 46.3 mm (1.81 inches)
Least rainy month = December at 11.4 mm (because most of the precipitation comes as snow).
Snowiest month = December at 21.1 cm (8.4 inches) Note: this accounts for 36% of the annual snowfall
Hottest month (max, min, and mean) = July at 28.7°C (83.7°F), 13.3°C (55.9°F), and 21.0°C (69.8°F)
Coldest month (max, min, and mean) = December at 1.4°C, -3.5°C, and -1.1°C (30.1°F).
Month with the most days where the maximum temperature is less than or equal to zero C = December at 10.3 days
Month with the most days where the minimum temperature is less than or equal to zero C = December at 22.7 days
Month with the most days with bright sunshine = August at 30.5 days
Month with the least days with bright sunshine = December at 14.8 days
Windiest month = December at 14.9 km/h (9.3 mph)
Least windy month = August at 8.5 km/h (5.3 mph)
Month with the highest all time maximum wind gust = April 121 km/h
Month with the lowest all time maximum wind gust = June at 81 km/h
Month with the highest median daily snow depth = January at 1.3 cm (0.50 inches)
Month with the highest end-of-month snow depth = December at 4.9 cm
Month with the most days with a snow depth of 10 or more cm (3.9 inches) = January at 3.1 days
Month with the most precipitation days of at least 25mm (1 inch) = June at 0.17 days
Edited to add: December has the most number of days with measurable precipitation at 13. 4
August has the least at 6.9 days
In summary, December sucks. Coldest month, darkest month, cloudiest month, wettest month, snowiest month, and windiest month.
