 Climate and Seasons

The climate varies completely in accordance with the latitude of the region. British Columbia has quite a temperate climate with regard to the rest of the country. The mountain ranges (the Rockies and the coastal chain) prevent the ocean winds from penetrating into the province, and a warm current runs along the coast. Average temperatures in Victoria, British Columbia, range from 0 to 6°C in winter, and around 15-20°C in summer.
In Alberta, the winters are very cold: from -11 to -22°C on average in Edmonton. The summers are more pleasant, as the temperatures can rise to 22°C in July; however, this season is quite short: temperatures can be well below
20 °C in May and September.
In Saskatchewan, the winters are also long and harsh: from November to March, the temperatures do not exceed
0 °C, with an average of -23 to -13°C in January, in Regina. Although the summers are quite short, temperatures can be quite high, with occasional peaks at 26°C in July in the capital.
Snow falls in the three provinces, particularly in Alberta, which is famous for its ski runs. In the spring, the melting snow can cause quite a lot of mud in the forests, however, there is more rainfall in British Columbia.
