The Climate in Canada Canada is often associated with cold weather and snow, but in reality, its climate is as diverse as its landscape. Generally, Canadians enjoy four very distinct seasons, particularly in the more populated regions along the US border. Daytime summer temperatures can rise to 35Â°C and higher, while lows of -25Â°C are not uncommon in winter. More moderate temperatures are the norm in spring and fall. Summers can be hot and dry on the prairies, humid in central Canada, and milder on the coasts. Spring is generally pleasant across the country.
Average January temperatures range from about â34 Â°C to 0 Â°C (â40 to +32 Â°F), and winter temperatures can drop below â50 Â°C (â58 Â°F) over large parts of the Arctic. Average July temperatures range from about â10 to +10 Â°C (14 to 50 Â°F), with some land areas occasionally exceeding 30 Â°C (86 Â°F) in summer.
