Given Canadaโs massive size and physical geography, temperatures can vary greatly across the country. Canadian winters can be harsh in many regions, with temperatures ranging between -15ยฐC/5ยฐF and -30ยฐC/-22ยฐF in the interior and Prairie provinces. Coastal regions, such as around British Columbia have much milder winters. Summers, on the other hand, are hot with temperatures ranging between 20ยฐC/70ยฐF to 30ยฐC/86ยฐF, and occasionally exceeding 40ยฐC/104ยฐF. Overall, Canada experiences four distinct seasons annually as outlined in the table below.
