Weather Canada - More Variety than YOU Might Think

We are certainly known for being far in the Northern Hemisphere. And for the cold and snow one would expect in this temperate zone. But it isn't ALWAYS cold, we can even get warm weather in winter.

Our federal agency, Environment Canada weather, provides the general public and the transportation sector with necessary weather particulars, through both its main Weather Office Canada website and the NAV Canada webpage. The Ministry of Environment Canada also handles national regulatory issues.

Details such as Canadian weather forecast data and recent observations. Environmental Canada weather web pages also enable us to view long term forecasts when we need them.

See how the information they present is sorted by province and region? For example, if you wanted to see the weather Alberta Canada is about to experience, you could select that geographical area. Find out what weather Calgary, Edmonton, Medicine Hat and other cities there have in store.

Very brief Weather Almanac Canada

Here are the record high and low temperatures recorded at any weather station Canada has withstood over the last hundred years or so:

Highest Temperature in the country: 45.2 °C, 113.3 °F in Midale, Saskatchewan

The weather Canada normally enjoys falls between near the middle of these extremes, though most Canadians prefer one season over the others. And it ain't necessarily summer, as you might think.

We have a lot of skiers and hockey fans here. Plus a few snowbirds who like to spend their winters in Florida or Vegas or some warm place like that. You could even vacation on the islands of Canada. Apparently great places.

Experienced the cold?

Everybody knows Canada is cold. Always. What do you think?

This country never has summer. Or does it?

Ever been to Canada? Or some other northern place? Russia? Sweden? Alaska?

Antarctica??

Was it a shock?
