The warmest part of a July day comes in at 25.0°C on average. Its January nights stay gentler than in 95% of Canadian towns. The wettest month is January; the driest is August. Picnics, hikes and garden evenings come into their own from June to September, with highs of 21–25°C.
These are not Langley’s own readings: ECCC keeps no normals there, so the page uses Pitt Meadows, 12 km north-west.

Where Langley’s numbers come from
Averages over 30 years, not a forecast.
- Normals: the 1991–2020 Canadian Climate Normals at Pitt Meadows, the closest ECCC location with twelve months of temperature normals.
- Other locations: where a location publishes no full year of precipitation or snowfall, the nearest one that does supplies it, named beside those figures.
- Comparisons: Canadian towns and neighbourhoods of at least 2,500, each placed by its nearest location (city totals and reserves excluded).
- Not on this page: hours of sunshine, missing from the 1991–2020 normals, and a height correction: the town has no elevation on file.
