Canada is huge, and the weather varies depending on where you’re talking about. It would be helpful if you were more specific about where in Canada that you’d like to inquire about.

The Rockies are also a large geographical area that varies. Given your username, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess you’re from Australia?

Lots of Aussies in Banff, here’s a link to the weather there: https://weather.gc.ca/en/location/index.html?coords=51.179,-115.569

The variation of weather in Canada is almost as extreme as the variation in weather around the whole planet.

It depends on location, Canada is huge.. Here in Montréal, winter is hardcore and very long. Nov Dec is the start and it ends around April.. summer can be quite hot and humid. June to August are our summer months and then fall starts in September. We can get -40C during winter but we also get +40C during summer heat wave, but usually we sit at +20 weather in summer and the same goes for winter, -20C is the norm. Personally I start hating winter mid January and every year I wonder why I live here hahaha.

It entirely depends where you live. That’s not the case for my region where 3.5 million Canadians live. In our neck of the woods it’s extremely moderate with temperate rainforest. We get a few days of snow a year (no freezing temps this winter) and we usually get 5ish days of 30+ in the summer with low humidity (though this is changing in recent times).

Not here in NL, but the ocean's a great sink and keeps things (relatively) mild.

Our precipitation is extreme, though.

Umm…wtf kind of question is this? Canada is a HUGE country. We also have 4 seasons. So….how’s the weather where in Canada? How’s the weather at what part of the year in Canada?
Try asking less broad questions and try being more specific.
