British Columbia - Climate, Mountains, Pacific

British Columbia - Climate, Mountains, Pacific: Because of the Kuroshio, or Japan Current, which warms the coast, and the adjoining mountain ranges, British Columbia experiences a variety of climates. Some climatologists have claimed that, in its temperature, humidity, and variability, the southwestern corner of the province, tempered by the current, has one of the most favourable climates for people, plants, and animals. The prevailing winds from the Pacific, flowing over succeeding mountain ranges, cause a wide variety of precipitation and temperature ranges across the province, but along the coast such variation is negligible. Summers are comfortably cool, while winters are not severe; temperatures seldom drop to
British Columbia, Canada’s westernmost province. It is bounded to the north by Yukon and the Northwest Territories, to the east by the province of Alberta, to the south by the U.S. states of Montana, Idaho, and Washington, and to the west by the Pacific Ocean and the southern panhandle of Alaska.
