Spring: April - June

Springtime (April - May/June) in Canada can be a bit chilly, especially if you’re visiting from a warmer climate. April is known for its precipitation, so prepare for different types of weather to get the most from your Canadian spring vacation. In May, you will notice the warming weather along with beautiful flowers, leaves, and greenery blossoming in the landscape. May is one of the best times to visit Canada because of the warming weather coupled with lower prices relative to the popular summer season. June is similar, as it's still before peak season, and its days are the longest in the year. You can also access the northern parts of Canada during June to embark on the exploration of a lifetime through mountains, valleys, glaciers, and lakes.

Spring is a great time to celebrate with Canadians through festivals including the Canadian Tulip Festival (Ottawa), Cherry Blossom Festival (Vancouver), and the Annapolis Apple Blossom Festival (Nova Scotia). Take advantage of the season with the live events happening at these blossoming spectacles.

Spring is often cold and wet in Canada. Temperatures vary across the country due to its vast size and ranging latitude, but you can expect above 30 degree F temperatures across the country. In Vancouver (temperate zone), you can find temperatures as high as 55 degrees F during the spring. In other areas like Montreal, Toronto, and Ottawa, temperatures can drop below 30 degrees F. The weather starts to warm up quite a bit in late spring. Be sure to layer up and grab an umbrella and sturdy rain boots to get the most out of your trip.
