Summer in Canada?
Which areas of Canada have the best summers? I know everyone has a different opinion of this but I mean a decent length, hottish Summer. I love the snow in Winter, love the Autumn but wondered which areas also get a good Summer ie. better than the UK where Summer just seems to last for about a week and the rest of the year it is Autumn.

Okanagan/North Thompson - roughly Kamloops south to the US border.
Regularly in the 30's, not unusual to top 40 degrees. Dry, no humidity. T-shirt and shorts from April to October.

We're currently in Ottawa and it can hit the 40's, but very humid. Depends on the year for length of summer, sometimes can be early May through October, others can be June - August.

I was surprised to see that Vancouver and Victoria were both cooler than Calgary in the summer. I mean I know it rains there all the time, but even so - it's warm rain, innit?
feels a whole lot hotter with the humidex.
