Canada weather

Climate & weather — Canada

Canada is dominated by a continental climate with long, harsh winters and short but sometimes hot summers, turning subarctic then arctic toward the north. The Pacific coast (Vancouver) is much milder and wetter, while the Prairies see large temperature swings.

Snowstorms, cold snaps and summer thunderstorms shape the year. AtmoAtlas covers Canada's vast territory with 14-day forecasts and a precipitation radar.
