May 2026 was full of temperature swings in #Canada, but overall the warm anomalies slightly outweighed the cold ones. Ontario was cooler than normal while BC, the Prairies, most of Nunavut and Labrador were warmer than normal. #wxtwitter

April 2026 was another cold month in most of Canada. Above-normal temps were observed in the Quebec City-Windsor corridor, and BC was overall near normal. #wxtwitter

March 2026 was extremely cold across the territories and northern Ontario, Quebec and Labrador. The coldest month of the "winter" for many, and record-cold in Rankin Inlet, Churchill and Wabush. Meanwhile, Southern Ontario had a variable, but warm month. #wxtwitter

February 2026 temperature anomalies in Canada. Overall warmer than normal, with colder spots in Southern QC and Ontario, and in the northwest.

While January 2026 was a cold one in most of Ontario and Southern Quebec, warmer temperatures dominated elsewhere. Baffin Island and Ellesmere Island had their warmest January on record, w/ up to 11.4° above normal for Iqaluit - improving last year's record by more than a degree!

For once, December 2025 was a cold month across most of Canada. Repeated events of extreme cold in Yukon brought monthly temperatures more than 13° below normal! Coldest December since 1980 for Whitehorse and Old Crow, and since 2013 for Yellowknife.
