Weather in Canada

Canada is a large country with the Arctic Circle on the north and the U.S in the south. The continental climate can vary quite a lot from region to region, with cold weather in the winter and warm, pleasant temperatures in the summer.

The best time to visit Canada is in the summer when the weather is hot and sunny. The average temperature is a pleasant 26°C in Toronto, while Vancouver experiences slightly cooler weather with an average daily high of 21°C.

Winter can be a very cold time in Canada, with severely low temperatures in the Prairie provinces. Snowfall is common towards the mainland, with up to six months of the year experiencing some snowfall.

Avoid the cold weather and enjoy more sunshine when you visit Canada in spring or autumn. October is the best time to go to Canada if you prefer cooler temperatures without it being too cold. The average high is around 14°C, which is ideal for sightseeing and adventuring.
