Hiking, boating, kayaking, biking and world-class scuba diving and snorkeling are everyday activities at the bustling waterfront, as seaplanes take flight from sparkling blue waters. Today, Nanaimo (population 84,228) is a fast-growing urban centre that is no longer merely the premier gateway to Vancouver Island.
March is quite a windy time for St Lucia. During this month, normal wind speeds range between 5 m/s (gentle breeze) and 10 m/s (fresh breeze), almost never going above 20 m/s (gale).
The rainy season is from June to November. St. Lucia weather is tempered by mild trade winds blowing off the water. The island experiences the majority of its rainfall in the summertime, when St. Lucia weather is at its hottest and most humid but most storms are short bursts.
