Clearly I asked this question the wrong way, so let me try again. How
many days on average, in July does Vancouver have weather low enough
to require an actual approach? In Sacramento, I know this number to be
zero. Is the number slightly greater in Vancouver?

It is greater. Whether it's slightly, I don't know. As I mentioned before,
it probably will be a lower chance this year than an "average" year,
assuming our current dry pattern persists.

That's just my own personal impression. Frankly, you're not really going to
get anything approximating an accurate answer by asking that question here.
What you really need to do, assuming what you want is an actual correct
answer, is to look up the historical data for Vancouver from an official
weather agency (either in the US or Canada).

If what you are really asking is whether Vancouver has a zero chance of IFR
weather, the answer to that is "no", as implied above. If the only reason
you'd have not bothered getting the approach charts is if the answer was
"yes", then I can see where you're coming from. Otherwise, I'll admit to
being unable to relate.

I hope that helps.
