Fall officially begins on Monday, Sept. 22, 2025, and the season is shaping up to be cooler than average, particularly across Alberta and the Prairie provinces. Early cold snaps and even wet snow may be in the cards by mid-October, according to the forecast.
Rain will also be a recurring theme across the country. Higher elevations in Alberta may see wet snow as early as October, with more widespread snowfall expected across the province and the Prairies by November.
Other parts of the country along the Atlantic Coast, especially Newfoundland, will see a wet September with a threat of a hurricane mid-month. Ontario and Quebec will contend with heavy showers and thunderstorms throughout October, while British Columbia will experience frequent Pacific-driven rain systems.
The Farmers’ Almanac
As for Halloween, those who are trick-or-treating or hitting up parties may want to bundle up — the Almanac is calling for “wet, then slow clearing” weather around Oct. 28 to 31 for the Prairies.
“Fall 2025 in Canada will be a season of shifting skies and changing temperatures, with moments of calm nestled between bouts of rain, snow, and wind,” the Farmers’ Almanac stated.
“Whether you’re planning a Thanksgiving feast or a spooky Halloween night, be sure to keep an eye on the forecast—and your umbrella close at hand.”
The Farmers’ Almanac says it factors in the influence of our celestial companion, the Moon, when creating forecasts, in addition to studying natural cycles. Meteorologists also use the technique of comparing past weather patterns to current conditions to forecast future weather.
