The weather in Canada

While you may consider the weather in Canada to be exclusively cold – the reality is actually a tad more complicated. Canada is a huge country that spans two separate oceans – as such, the climate can change dramatically between cities and regions. The majority of the large cities in Canada are on the borders of the country, where all four seasons are pronounced across the year. In the interior provinces, you can expect a much colder climate all year round.
