B.C. Flag. Right: Emerald Lake in B.C.
If you've been thinking about moving to the beautiful province of B.C. anytime soon, you might want to listen to what locals want you to know before actually packing up the U-Haul.
In a B.C. Reddit thread locals are sharing their knowledge for anyone planning on moving to the West Coast of Canada and they did not hold back.

Be warned though, the seasons change pretty drastically in B.C. and you can expect cold rainy weather from fall to spring and scorching hot days in the summertime.
Be prepared with your rain boots and umbrellas for the majority of the year, and practice fire safety in the summertime.
