6) CLIMATE:

Due to its size and location, the country offers a varied climate. Part of continental Canada and the majority of the Arctic Archipelago are in the polar zone; the rest of the country is in the north of the temperate zone. Also, the general climatic conditions vary from the extreme cold, characteristic of the Arctic regions, to the moderate temperatures of the more southerly regions. But most of the country suffers snow over five months.

The Canadian climate is marked by strong regional disparities. In the Maritime Provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island), winter cold and summer heat are mitigated by ocean currents, which also cause heavy fog and heavy precipitation. Along the west coast, an area influenced by warm sea currents and moisture-laden winds, the climate is characterized by mild summers and winters, high humidity and abundant rainfall. In the Cordillera, the western slopes of some high ranges, particularly the Selkirk Mountains and the Rockies, experience heavy rainfall and snowfall, while the eastern slopes and the central plateau are extremely arid.

Within the Cordillera is the Chinook (see Foehn), a warm, dry westerly wind that significantly softens winter conditions in the foothills of the Rockies and adjacent plains, causing sudden temperature changes over a period of one year. day. The blizzard is also characteristic of the Canadian climate.

The thermal range can be very high from one province to another: in Victoria, British Columbia, temperatures range from 4 ° C in January to 15 ° C in July; in the Prairie they can drop to -17 ° C and rise to 40 ° C in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. In the Far North, located in the subarctic zone, winters are long and harsh. Finally, around the Labrador Peninsula, the sea is often ice-covered, forming an ice floe.
