The climate in Canada is mostly temperate and subarctic and differs depending on the region. In the coastal provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island), winters are not so cold, and summers are not so hot due to the influence of the ocean. On the western coast of the country, the climate is affected by warm ocean currents, which, among other things, cause high humidity.

In mountain regions, there are quite dry areas, despite the fact that in the mountains of Selkirk rains and snowfalls are frequent. In general, winters in the country are characterized by heavy snow and frost, and summer – moderate temperatures.
