Canada’s huge size would suggest that there is a large variety of weather patterns, however, they are often similar across the country and have weather seasons that aren’t dissimilar to those here in the UK. Something to keep in mind is that the coastal regions tend to remain more temperate and the mountainous ranges attract higher rainfall and snow, though as a general rule of thumb it’s cold everywhere in winter and warm in most locations in summer!

Most visitors tend to travel to Canada in the summer months, as they bring sunshine-filled days and pleasant warm temperatures. From late April to early June, the melting of the snow brings with it the reappearance of beautiful flowers and wildlife as they end their winter hibernation. For nature enthusiasts, September is a great time to visit Canada as the salmon run is in its peak, which attracts a large number of bears – don’t forget your camera! Autumn brings with it a spectacular fall foliage lasting into October.
