General �������� Report for Canada

Please note that this spring forecast reflects weather deviations from normal for the spring months of April and May. For more details about the forecast, check out .

April/May 2025 Temperatures

As our colorful map reflects, spring will bring warmer-than-normal temperatures from the western portion of the country—British Columbia, Yukon, and southern Northwest Territories—through the Prairies and into Southern Ontario. Quebec’s central and northern areas will also experience warmer-than-normal weather for this time of year.

Other Canadian regions will experience seasonal to cooler-than-normal temperatures; this includes northern Ontario, southern Quebec, and Newfoundland and Labrador. In Atlantic Canada, we’ll see near-normal temperatures for western areas, including Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. 

April/May 2025 Precipitation

The western provinces, which will be warmer than normal, will also be wetter than usual. This includes the western Prairies through British Columbia and into the Yukon and NWT. Newfoundland and Labrador, southeastern Ontario (above the Great Lakes), and southeastern Quebec will also see above-normal precipitation. 

Otherwise, precipitation will be below normal in the heart of Canada and western Atlantic Canada, including Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick.
