Coombs is a small community on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, situated on provincial highway 4A approximately {{convert|10|km|mi|abbr=on}} west of Parksville. Coombs is home to approximately 1,327 people and is renowned for its Old Country Market (which features a family of goats living on the roof), Butterfly World (which includes a small indoor tropical rainforest), and the Coombs Bluegrass Festival held every B.C. Day weekend. The history of Coombs goes back many years. The Ford House which is the old log house situated on the old Island Highway is dated back to early 1900. The house was completed in 1911. Next to the Ford House is the old General Store which also houses the General Post Office. The Fair Grounds is an active place in the summer when the Fall Fair rolls around. The Rodeo Grounds just up the highway heading towards Port Alberni is a successful and active place during the summer months. The railway is also a huge part of the history of Coombs. Along with the United Church and just over the French Creek Bridge is the French Creek School which is now closed as a public school was a huge asset to the community for over 100 years. ClimateUnder the Köppen climate classification, Coombs is located at the northernmost limits of the cool dry-summer subtropical zone (Csb) or cool-summer Mediterranean climate, due to its dry summers.[1] {{Weather box|location = Coombs |metric first = Y |single line = Y |Jan record high C = 15.0 |Feb record high C = 18.0 |Mar record high C = 22.5 |Apr record high C = 26.0 |May record high C = 30.0 |Jun record high C = 33.5 |Jul record high C = 35.0 |Aug record high C = 33.0 |Sep record high C = 33.0 |Oct record high C = 24.0 |Nov record high C = 17.0 |Dec record high C = 17.0 |year record high C = 35.0 |Jan high C = 6.0 |Feb high C = 7.6 |Mar high C = 10.3 |Apr high C = 13.8 |May high C = 17.6 |Jun high C = 20.6 |Jul high C = 24.0 |Aug high C = 24.2 |Sep high C = 20.6 |Oct high C = 13.8 |Nov high C = 8.2 |Dec high C = 5.5 |year high C = 14.4 |Jan mean C = 2.8 |Feb mean C = 3.4 |Mar mean C = 5.4 |Apr mean C = 8.2 |May mean C = 11.6 |Jun mean C = 14.6 |Jul mean C = 17.2 |Aug mean C = 17.1 |Sep mean C = 13.8 |Oct mean C = 8.9 |Nov mean C = 4.7 |Dec mean C = 2.6 |year mean C = 9.2 |Jan low C = -0.4 |Feb low C = -0.9 |Mar low C = 0.5 |Apr low C = 2.5 |May low C = 5.5 |Jun low C = 8.4 |Jul low C = 10.4 |Aug low C = 10.0 |Sep low C = 7.0 |Oct low C = 3.9 |Nov low C = 1.1 |Dec low C = -0.4 |year low C = 4.0 |Jan record low C = -14.5 |Feb record low C = -17.5 |Mar record low C = -9.0 |Apr record low C = -5.0 |May record low C = -3.0 |Jun record low C = 2.0 |Jul record low C = 3.0 |Aug record low C = 2.0 |Sep record low C = -2.0 |Oct record low C = -8.0 |Nov record low C = -18.0 |Dec record low C = -18.0 |year record low C = -18.0 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 176.3 |Feb precipitation mm = 110.1 |Mar precipitation mm = 109.0 |Apr precipitation mm = 75.1 |May precipitation mm = 56.3 |Jun precipitation mm = 46.6 |Jul precipitation mm = 24.4 |Aug precipitation mm = 34.5 |Sep precipitation mm = 39.3 |Oct precipitation mm = 113.9 |Nov precipitation mm = 188.2 |Dec precipitation mm = 164.9 |year precipitation mm = 1138.5 |rain colour = green |Jan rain mm = 162.8 |Feb rain mm = 100.1 |Mar rain mm = 103.1 |Apr rain mm = 75.1 |May rain mm = 56.3 |Jun rain mm = 46.6 |Jul rain mm = 24.4 |Aug rain mm = 34.5 |Sep rain mm = 39.3 |Oct rain mm = 113.2 |Nov rain mm = 180.7 |Dec rain mm = 157.3 |year rain mm = 1093.2 |Jan snow cm = 13.5 |Feb snow cm = 10.1 |Mar snow cm = 5.9 |Apr snow cm = 0.0 |May snow cm = 0.0 |Jun snow cm = 0.0 |Jul snow cm = 0.0 |Aug snow cm = 0.0 |Sep snow cm = 0.0 |Oct snow cm = 0.7 |Nov snow cm = 7.5 |Dec snow cm = 7.6 |year snow cm = 45.2 |unit precipitation days = 0.2 mm |Jan precipitation days = 19.8 |Feb precipitation days = 15.8 |Mar precipitation days = 18.3 |Apr precipitation days = 15.7 |May precipitation days = 13.6 |Jun precipitation days = 11.7 |Jul precipitation days = 6.5 |Aug precipitation days = 7.0 |Sep precipitation days = 8.0 |Oct precipitation days = 17.2 |Nov precipitation days = 20.5 |Dec precipitation days = 19.3 |year precipitation days = 173.4 |unit rain days = 0.2 mm |Jan rain days = 18.0 |Feb rain days = 14.5 |Mar rain days = 17.8 |Apr rain days = 15.7 |May rain days = 13.6 |Jun rain days = 11.7 |Jul rain days = 6.5 |Aug rain days = 7.0 |Sep rain days = 8.0 |Oct rain days = 17.1 |Nov rain days = 19.7 |Dec rain days = 18.0 |year rain days= 167.6 |unit snow days = 0.2 cm |Jan snow days = 2.8 |Feb snow days = 2.0 |Mar snow days = 1.5 |Apr snow days = 0.0 |May snow days = 0.1 |Jun snow days = 0.0 |Jul snow days = 0.0 |Aug snow days = 0.0 |Sep snow days = 0.0 |Oct snow days = 0.2 |Nov snow days = 1.4 |Dec snow days = 2.4 |year snow days = 10.3 |source 1 = [2]|date=9 March 2013 }} GalleryReferences1. ^{{cite journal| last = Kottek | first = M.|author2=J.
