Langley is located in an area that often experiences less rainfall than the surrounding communities, due to the a small micro-climate throughout the township and city of Langley. However the winter months bring enough rain to keep the area green throughout most of the year but with an average snow fall of only 20cm and an average temperature of 2˚C (35.6˚F), the snow does not last long. The summer brings plenty of sunshine and over 1800 hours of sunlight, but light rain showers are not uncommon. The average temperature during the summer months (May to September) is 17˚C (62.5˚F), but it is not uncommon to see July and August temperatures reach over 26˚C (78.8˚F).
