Climate description

“Vancouver is one of Canada's warmest cities in the winter.” I think we can simply write: Canada’s warmest major city. דולב חולב (talk) 10:00, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Reverted: Vancouver is first in population DENSITY, which is what the infobox said and which I've now restored. Please be more careful when processing edit requests in the future. —Joeyconnick (talk) 04:24, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

I think it's still a bit unclear. When looking at it, it's hard to see if the rank refers to the density or if it's on the same level as population. Especially since city population doesn't have a rank but metro does. Maybe we could add it to the end of the population number for the city too? E.g:

• City 662,248 (8th in Canada) Espionage7240 (talk) 10:41, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Inaccurate climate data, can someone edit?

Sunshine hours for Vancouver are the following, per Environment Canada: Jan 98.5, Feb 104.1, Mar 104.0, Apr 120.8, May 148.4, Jun 133.1, Jul 283.8, Aug 280.3, Sep 260.9, Oct 158.1, Nov 94.0, Dec 80.0. Annual 1866.0. See data here:

Click "Normals Data" tab, scroll down to "Cloud Amount (hours with)", and see first row ("0-2"). See also https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/weather-general-tools-resources/astronomy/cloud-forecast.html to make sense of what "0-2" means in this context (sunny weather). 137.132.27.170 (talk) 08:24, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
