It’s going to be a wet and white Christmas across Canada, according to the Old Farmers’ Almanac’s long-range weather forecast for the holiday season.
Weather conditions across provinces will look a little different, but you can expect lots of snow and rain all over the True North. Things will even get bitter and frigid in some areas, so make sure you’re prepared in advance.
Pick out your cutest coat and earmuffs, and let the festivities begin! Here’s what you can expect the weather to be like until the end of the year:
British Columbia
Southern BC can expect fluctuating winter weather leading up to the holidays. It’ll be a wild mix of rainy, snowy, mild, and sunny.
Coastal areas will remain sunny longer, while snow flurries will begin chilling up the inland area. Frigid cold and snow showers will hit the province on and around Christmas.
On average, the month will be -2°C throughout.

Ontario
Periods of rain and snow will continue until December across Southern Ontario. It’ll be hit with “bitter cold” just as the merry month begins, but things will mellow out mid-December.
On and around Christmas, residents can expect snowy weather and temperatures around -6°C, which, frankly, isn’t so bad for Ontario.
