Best Time to Visit Canada

Canada witnesses the highest number of travelers during the summer season that is from June to August. The weather is warm during this season but not harsh heat. It is perfect to enjoy all the adventurous activities. It is also the best time for trekking and camping. In the month of July, you will be able to witness the festivities of Canada Day which is the month of patriotism in Canada. 

There is no particular monsoon season in Canada. Spring which is from March to May is unpredictable in Canada and it can rain during this season. So, it is advisable to carry raincoats and rain boots.   

March to May (18°C to -8°C)

March, April, and May are the spring months in Canada. This is not the most crowded time in the country, especially the northern parts. The snow is gone so one cannot enjoy winter sports and other related activities. But it is not yet warm enough to go on the various nature trails. One can, however, enjoy city sightseeing during spring in Canada.

June to August (7°C to 25°C)

There is summer in Canada from June to August. This is the peak season for vacation in Canada. From Halifax to Vancouver, there are tourists, and all the attractions are packed throughout. From beaches to trekking routes to the nature parks – all of them are in their prime when it comes to tourism during the summer months in Canada. One might need to book as early as 9 months ago to get a proper booking and availability at affordable prices.

September to November (19°C to -8°C) 

September and early October experiences autumn in Canada. The forests turn into a brilliant shade of red and golden. Many of the treks can still be availed. But as time passes, it becomes colder and colder to enjoy outdoor activities if you are from any hot country. During November, the urban areas can be explored, just like spring. So it is the best time to visit Canada, Toronto or Ottawa or the other less cold cities. But the rest is mostly off-the-table.

December to February (1°C to -13°C)

December to January are the winter season months in Canada. If you are in for the blasting chill and lots of snow, then this is the best season to visit Canada. The temperature in Toronto, Canada is comparatively much milder with an average of 1°C to -13°C, compared to the severe colds of other places in Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, and Quebec. It is impossible to imagine how cold is Canada in winter unless one has experienced it. In Ontario, it can go as low as -50°C. December is off-limits mostly, but February sees a host of winter-sports enthusiasts.

Holiday Season in Canada

It does not really feel like Christmas unless there is snow and Canada has so much of it during this time. Although December is too cold usually to visit, people make an exception for the holiday season. Strings of tourists visit to celebrate Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Yule, and Christmas in magical snow-covered Canada.
