The city of Vancouver has the warmest annual temperature. This is because of the Ocean currents together with the Wind and Air masses, and Vancouver's Nearness to water.
Latitude:
Even though Vancouver is fairly south, it isn’t as southerly as many other places making latitude, not a cause.
Ocean Currents:
Ocean currents play a huge role in the average annual temperature of Vancouver. The Warm North Pacific current brings warm water towards Vancouver. The air masses nearby pick up this heat and bring it to the city of Vancouver and raise the temperature there. This keeps the city warmer all year round increasing the annual temperature.
Wind and Air masses:
As hinted above, wind and air masses play a large role in the annual temperature of Vancouver. They carry the heat of nearby ocean currents to Vancouver where that heat will warm up the city increasing its average annual temperature.

This is because Vancouver isn’t high up or low down enough for this to be significant.
Relief:
As much as relief can affect precipitation, I don’t believe that it will affect the temperature in Vancouver.
Near Water:
Vancouver’s proximity to a large body of water greatly affects its average annual temperature. The water acts as a moderator. As the land is warmed up (in the summer) and cooled down (in the winter) the water does so much more slowly. This makes for cooler summers and warmer winters as the water releases and captures heat. This would make the cooler parts of the year warmer, increasing the annual temperature.
