Check the live forecast above before heading to the Steveston waterfront, as conditions shift quickly off the Strait of Georgia. This fishing village at the mouth of the Fraser River sees marine air and tidal influences that make its weather distinct from inland Richmond.
What makes Steveston’s weather different from the rest of Richmond?
Steveston sits at the southwest corner of Lulu Island, exposed to the Strait of Georgia and the Fraser River estuary. That means cooler summer highs, more persistent fog in spring and autumn, and stronger afternoon sea breezes than neighbourhoods farther inland. The live forecast above will show whether a marine layer is holding over the harbour.
