Woss, also commonly known as Woss Lake after the nearby lake of the same name, is a small village in the Nimpkish Valley, located 75 km (47 mi) southeast of Port McNeill and 128 km (80 mi) north of Campbell River on Highway 19, in northeastern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.

Despite Woss having a temperate climate, summer temperatures often exceed 30 °C (86 °F) on average 15–25 days.

As a result of the community being surrounded by mountain ranges, adiabatic heating occurs.

This causes peak summer temperatures throughout July and August to occasionally exceed 35 °C (95 °F), sometimes even approach 40 °C (104 °F).

Up until the 2021 Western North America heat wave, the hottest recorded temperature for the community was 42.1 °C (107.8 °F) on July 30, 2009.
