The last third of the month sure didn't give that final impression, but the four highs above 10°C between March 9-17 pulled up the average quite a bit...
I think it has been a windy month too, which doesn't help.
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.
Kuujjuaq a reçu 33,2 cm de neige hier, battant ainsi son record pour une journée du mois de mars. Il s'agit de la journée la plus neigeuse depuis le blizzard de janvier 1964! #meteoQC
February 2026 temperature anomalies across Canada.
Overall warmer than normal, except Southern QC and ON and much of the territories.
St. John's airport got its snowiest February on record (178 cm).
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, with up to 11.4° above normal for Iqaluit - improving last year's record by more than a degree!
The northernmost station in Canada, Alert, climbed above freezing this morning to a high of 0.9°C!
This is the warmest temperature recorded up there in January since records began in 1951. #Arctic
Previous daily record: -13.8°C (2003)
Previous January record: 0.0°C (1958)
Alaska and vicinity temperature December departures from the 1991-2020 baseline normal. Bering Sea on the warm side of normal, especially St. Lawrence Island. Cold most other regions, especially eastern Interior and the Yukon Territory. #akwx #Climate @climatologist49.bsky.social @patwx.bsky.social
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.
November 2025 was very warm overall in Canada, with record-breaking averages in some places. However, southern Ontario and Quebec managed to get below average temperatures. Most of Ontario and Quebec also had more snowfall than normal.

Ayant suivi les mesures de radiation solaire ces derniers mois à YUL et à McTavish (McGill), on voit systématiquement une chute soudaine un peu avant le coucher du soleil en été à McGill (et pas à YUL). Ça semble être le mont Royal qui cache le soleil à la station, d'où la différence selon moi.
Eureka, Nunavut (NEK) hit -30.5°C in the past hour, making it the first -30° of the season in Canada, close to two weeks later than normal.
The average date of first -30° in Eureka for 1991-2020 is Oct 21.
Canada had a very warm October, except in BC with near to slightly below seasonal temperatures.
Record-warmest October for:
Cambridge Bay -2.5° (previously -2.9 in 2021/2023)
Churchill 4.7° (4.0 in 2021)
Kuujjuaq 5.4° (3.8 in 2021)
Nain 7.1° (5.3 in 2023)
Wabush 4.9° (4.8 in 2022)
More monthly heat records in Eastern Canada today. Close to 30°C in Nova Scotia once again!
Several October records were broken today in Ontario and Québec, up to 31.7° in Luskville, QC (new provincial October record)!
A few missed records:
Ottawa 29.9° (1.0° from record of 2023)
Quebec City 26.7° (1.6° from record of 1949)
Moosonee 29.0° (1.0° from record of 2023)
September 2025 was warmer than normal everywhere in Canada. The strongest anomalies were in the Prairies and territories, and it was the hottest September on record in Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton.
August 2025 was slightly warmer than normal overall in Canada. The warmest anomalies were observed in the Yukon, NWT, and Prairies. Meanwhile a few cold anomalies stand out in SW Ontario and parts of Nunavut.
Alaska's summer (Jun-Aug) was slightly warmer and slightly wetter than the 1991-2020 normal. @alaskawx.bsky.social
It's a record for August (previously 21.1° in 1996), but there were a few warmer lows in the past in July. All-time warmest low is 23.3° on July 8, 1952.
Another all-time record was set today in Eastern Canada!
30.3° Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC (previously 30,0° 1987/07/14)
36.3° (prelim.) in Goose Bay: New August Labrador record!
Very impressive 35.7° in Cartwright, too! August record for the station. #NLwx
We've asked a friend who works there and he said that the station is currently standing over a paved area, so it is overheating the sensor. It's a temporary setup until they repair the real station further in the field. So not a reliable temperature unfortunately!
Even hotter than yesterday in Eastern Canada!
All-time records were set at several stations, and the all-time PEI record was shattered with 38.1° at Maple Plains!
36.7° in Badger, NL tied August record for NL and all-time record for the island. 38.6° in Miramichi is 0.8° below NB all-time record. ♨️
Correction: Sept-Îles actually reached 29.9°C.
And then the sea-breeze came to Marys Harbour... causing a 17°C drop in one hour (n/a = 15.2°)
Here are some of the very hot temperatures recorded today in Eastern Canada... Up to 37.6°C in Miramichi, NB!
A few monthly records tied/broken, and tomorrow could be hotter locally! #NBwx #meteoqc #NLwx
July 2025 was a mixed bag in #Canada. Generally hotter than normal in the east, but slightly cooler in many regions. Northern Nunavut had the coldest anomalies, between 1° and 2°C below the 1991-2020 average.
June 2025 was generally warmer than normal in Canada, although most stations were within 1° of their 1991-2020 normal. Atlantic Canada got the warmest anomalies, up to 3.5° above normal in St. John's, NL.
May 2025 was a bit of a mixed bag across Canada. Very warm in the Prairies and parts of the north. Very cool in Yukon and adjacent NWT, and cooler than normal in northern QC and southern ON.
April 2025 was generally warmer than normal across Canada, but cooler in parts of Quebec, Northern Ontario and Manitoba, and Southern Nunavut. The month was more notable for its strong temperature swings than its overall anomaly.
March 2025 was warmer than normal for most of #Canada, except for a region extending from the NWT to Labrador, which was colder than normal. The strongest anomalies were in Northern Nunavut; up to +6.5°C for Pond Inlet.
