Canada’s weather will be warm in most places, but some spots will have cool temperatures, according to this new summer forecast.
You might miss out on summer heat, so here’s what you need to know about the season.
Recently, the Old Farmer’s Almanac released the 2026 summer weather forecast that included temperature and rainfall predictions for the entire country.
It’s expected that most of the southern parts of Canada will have a warmer-than-normal season with “widespread heat” in July and August.
Even though those months are typically the hottest of the year, the Old Farmer’s Almanac said temperatures in July and August are forecast to be above seasonal in 2026.
Most of the country is also expected to have a warm summer, but some areas are likely to get mixed temperature patterns with cooler weather.
When it comes to precipitation, rainfall patterns vary across the country, with most places forecast to have wet and dry conditions during the season.
Now, let’s get into the provincial and territorial breakdowns of this summer forecast.
