Canada Election Day Weather: Rain, Snow, and a Range of Conditions Across the Country
As Canada heads to the polls on Monday, April 28, voters can expect some eventful weather. Storm systems are expected to bring wet conditions to various parts of the country, with a few areas facing the possibility of snow at the start of the week.
In British Columbia, rain is in the forecast for Vancouver and Victoria, with daytime highs in the lower teens. Parts of the British Columbia mountains could even see some snow. Meanwhile, the Interior will experience slightly warmer temperatures, with Kelowna expecting a high of around 17°C, mixing clouds and sunshine.
The Prairies are set to enjoy calm conditions, with cities like Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, and Regina seeing pleasant temperatures in the lower teens. However, an approaching storm system will bring heavier rain to southern Manitoba, including Winnipeg, and parts of northwestern Ontario. The colder temperatures may also bring a risk of snow to central Manitoba and northern Ontario.
In the Great Lakes and southern Quebec, voters will experience clear skies with temperatures in the middle to upper teens. After a wet weekend, Ontario and Quebec will have sunny conditions, making for pleasant voting weather in cities like Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal.
On the East Coast, Atlantic Canada will face showery and cooler conditions, with temperatures in the middle to upper single digits. Cities like Halifax, Charlottetown, and St. John’s will have a chance of rain throughout the day.
Though temperatures in the 20s are common during this time of year, don’t completely rule out snow. While rare, snowfall on April 28 is not unheard of—Halifax saw 25 cm in 2020, and Toronto had 2 cm in 1885.
