I don't understand all this hate for the beautiful sunny Vancouver summers , had no idea we had that many rain lovers.

Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by?
We never get to stop and open our eyes
One minute you're waiting for the sky to fall
Next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all

Rain lovers in a dangerous time

25 and sunny is nice
an occasional 30 even, no problem
multi-day runs well into the 30s with it struggling to cool to 20 by daybreak, ugh

Summer -- disagree.
