An overview of weather conditions across Canada

By Jane McLean, About.com

Canada is a huge country, stretching from the Pacific to Atlantic Ocean and covering five time zones, so you can imagine that the weather in Canada varies widely depending on where you are. Canada's most southern tip lines up with northern California and its northern-most regions reach the Arctic.

Generally speaking, Canada has four distinct seasons, with temperatures cooler overall in the northern territories and milder on BC's west coast. Temperatures and climate from BC's interior east to Newfoundland are comparable, with variances depending on latitude and mountainous topography.
