British Columbia: Climate

Submitted by The Catt-Trax2 Team on Fri, 2007/01/12 - 3:19pm.

Report prepared by Rory Masters and Joe Karpinski, students in BCIT’s Fish, Wildlife and Recreation Program.

British Columbia’s climate is determined by the topography, pacific cyclones, polar air masses, a large jet stream, and the Pacific Ocean. British Columbia is a very unique province. Only here can you relax on a beach then drive two hours and be skiing on a glacier.

Air masses and flows that control our climates

During summer months the Arctic warms up and the entire weather system shifts north and weakens in strength.
