Spring Weather In Canada Will Be All Over The Place & Here's What You Can Expect Each Month

When it comes to spring weather in Canada, there's a monthly breakdown of what conditions will be like during the season this year so you can know what to expect where you live.

Before the official start of the season on March 20, the Farmers' Almanac released Canada's spring weather forecast for 2022 that calls the season "the backward spring."

That's because there will be a slow warm-up with a major late-season winter storm and northern parts of Canada are expected to experience warmer weather than southern areas.

According to The Weather Network's seasonal forecast, pockets of warm conditions will pop up but late winter weather and a "turbulent transition" are also expected.

The country has "a rocky road ahead" before consistent spring weather arrives thanks to the late blasts of winter conditions.

If you want to know what Canada's spring weather will be like throughout the season, here's a monthly breakdown from the Old Farmer's Almanac of what's forecast to happen during spring!

For the Prairies, the month starts off sunny in the east but with flurries in the west. During the next few weeks, there's a mix of sun, flurries, snow showers and a flip flop between mild and cold temperatures. At the end of the month, the region will get rain and snow showers as conditions turn mild.

Throughout southern Ontario, the first weeks of March are forecast to bring a mixed bag of rainy periods, mild temperatures, snow showers, sunshine and even cold. During the last week, it will be rainy and mild in the east but cold with snow showers in the west.
