While it may feel like summer just started, fall is already on the horizon, and soon Canadians will be trading their iced coffees for pumpkin spice lattes.

Canada's fall weather often brings with it crisp mornings, cooler temperatures and cozy vibes, and it's an idyllic time to enjoy colourful foliage and knitted sweaters.

You might want to enjoy that summer sun for as long as you can, because a recent report is calling for some chilly and volatile weather for the upcoming autumn season.

Here's what weather Canadians can expect for the 2024 fall season.

Farmers' Almanac has released its Canadian Fall Extended Forecast for 2024 and it's predicting a "frosty fall on tap."

According to the website, the fall season officially begins on Sunday, September 22, 2024, and it will "literally blow in" to some provinces.

Newfoundland and Labrador are set to experience a hurricane threat while the rest of the county can expect "chillier temperatures and unsettled weather."

Newfound and Labrador are in for a "cold, showery" season, while Quebec and Atlantic Canada can expect "crisp, unsettled" weather.

"Cold, wet" weather is predicted for Ontario and the Prairies are set to have a "frigid, wet and white" fall. B.C. can expect "cool, wet" temperatures.

On Thanksgiving, "clearing skies" are forecasted for Labrador and Newfoundland, and fair and dry conditions are predicted for Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. The Prairies west to British Columbia are likely to see a showery and wet Thanksgiving.

As for Halloween, "spooky, soggy weather" is forecasted for most areas with fair weather likely for Ontario.

November will bring "frosty and unsettled" weather across Canada. Quebec and the Maritimes are expected to experience a stormy month, while Newfoundland and Labrador are predicted to have lots of rain.

Those in the Prairies will want to bundle up, as fall may feel more like winter and bring with it some very cold temperatures.

British Columbia is in for a wetter November than normal as well as some windy days.

You'll want to get your winter gear ready. From November 8 to 11, there is a potential for an early-season, heavy snowfall for the Prairies and Quebec, which will be followed by very cold temperatures.

Newfoundland and Labrador can also expect some snow as well as an intensifying storm with heavy rain followed by "frigidly cold" air during these dates.

Stay warm this fall, Canada!
