Prince Rupert gain its nickname "The City of Rainbows due to its usual large amount of annual precipitation, 2552mm a year. It is also known as the wettest and cloudiest city in Canada with cloud and precipitation at least 255 days a year. The city have a humid continental seasonal climate with a late fall maximum. It's temperature range is 14 degree Celsius, with a growing seasons of 7 months starting from April to October. Since the city is located near the Pacific Ocean and mountains the major factors that affects the city's climate are ocean, nearness to water, and relief. The ocean would bring prevailing cold and hot wind from around the world all year long, which causes the city's climate to be always moderate. Nearby mountains contributes to the other major factor that leads to Prince Rupert's moderate climate with huge annual average precipitation, since the city is half surrounded with mountains, it causes the air coming from other places to rise, condenses, cool, and then eventually turn into precipitation and falls onto the city. Prince Rupert has mostly mild and moderate climate, which makes severe weather conditions very rare. If the climate of this city change and the precipitation lowered, it might create higher possible immigration rate since one of the major push-factor of the city's population had always been its huge amount of annual precipitation.
