Climate
ClimateClimate: The climate across Canada varies from temperate to sub arctic and arctic. Temperatures therefore vary from moderate in the south to severely cold in the north. There are vast regional variations in climate. Maritime influences moderate the extreme winter and summer temperatures in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, which also brings with it high precipitation. The western coastal areas are exposed to warm sea currents allowing for moderate summers and winters and high amounts of precipitation. The mountainous areas experience high rainfall and snowfall. Certain of the central regions are quite dry with extremes in summer and winter temperatures.

What to WearWhat to Wear: During July and August the traveller will get away with lightweight clothing. You may require medium weight jackets or sweaters for evenings and cooler days. From March to June and for the month of September medium weight clothing will keep the chill out, but you may require a warm overcoat. October to February sees cold winter days. Medium weight clothing is good for indoors, but if you venture out be sure to have your heavyweights readily available - including gloves, hats and boots.

Average Temperature PrecipitationTemperature & Precipitation: Below you'll find the average monthly temperature and precipitation for major cities in Canada. You will likely experience warmer temperatures because the values displayed are an average of day-time and night-time readings.
