Best Time and Weather

The climate in Canada is very much influenced by the latitude of each area. As you travel further North the temperature will lower. There are four seasons during the year which are defined by the individual areas. Along the coastline it is more humid than it is inland where it is much dryer.

July and August are the hottest months of the year when temperatures reach in excess of 20 degrees centigrade. The winter months can be extremely cold with temperatures dropping to -20 degrees centigrade during the month of January.

Each season has a lot to offer and it is difficult to choose the perfect time to visit. July and August are excellent for camping, winter offers fantastic skiing and spring and autumn display the fantastic foliage and spectacular views.
