Victoria's seasons, indoors
Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. Victoria's warmest month is August, at an average high of 20.7 °C, and its coldest nights come in February, at an average low of 3.6 °C.
Saanich, 3 km away, has much the same number of days a year at 30 °C or more (3).

Early light in June
Around the longest day the sun is up for 16 h 7 min here, so east-facing bedrooms get light very early. Full-height panels with the louvers closed keep most of it out; a mounting frame closes the gaps around the edges.
Short winter days
In December there are only 8 h 18 min of daylight here. Open the louvers fully, or swing the panels back, to let every hour of it into the room.
Children’s rooms
Shutters have no cords. In Canada, corded window coverings have been regulated since May 1, 2021, and in the US the Consumer Product Safety Commission tells families to choose cordless window coverings.
Room by room in Victoria
The average home in Victoria has 4.3 rooms, and the most common has 1 bedroom. With so few rooms, the living room and bedroom are usually the whole order. In Saanich, 3 km away, the figure is 6.3 rooms.
30% of workers here worked from home on census day in May 2021, more than in 86% of the 167 Canadian cities we have figures for. A home office is often the next room shuttered. In Saanich, 3 km away, 27% worked from home, fewer than here.
