Weekend shortlist
1. Burlington, Washington
If you’re scanning for current recommendations, put Burlington near the top of the list: weekend air around 72°F / 57°F, plus only light rain on the books (~0.20 in).
Use the weather window for eating well: shortlist Burlington when you want outdoor dining or a long lunch that isn’t ruined by heat or a washout.
Use it as a concrete recommendation: fly or drive for patio weather, keep an eye on updates, and treat 72°F as your planning anchor — not a vague “nice weather somewhere.”

If your weekend is really about restaurants and cafés, North Cowichan earns the drive — only light rain on the books (~0.17 in), and enough local places in YouGee to fill an evening without defaulting to the highway exit.
Bottom line for North Cowichan: it’s on this list because it supports current recommendations for sit-outside terrace weather, not because it always trends on social. That’s the difference between a real weather guide and a postcard.
