April weather forecast
Canada

April heralds the arrival of spring in Canada, with rising temperatures, longer daylight hours, and an increase in rainfall as the primary form of precipitation. However, weather conditions can still fluctuate widely during this month, making it unpredictable at times.

In the northern and central regions of Canada, such as Yukon, temperatures continue their gradual climb. However, the weather remains relatively cold with temperatures frequently falling below freezing, especially during the early part of the month.

On the southwest coast, cities such as Vancouver and Victoria in British Columbia experience relatively milder conditions, with temperatures between 6°C (42.8°F) and 13°C (55.4°F). April showers are a common occurrence, contributing to the vibrant bloom of spring flowers.

The Canadian Prairies, encompassing Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, start to shake off the winter chill. Cities like Calgary and Saskatoon witness a rise in temperatures, typically between 1°C (33.8°F) and 12°C (53.6°F). However, April can still bring surprise snowstorms to this region, as winter occasionally stretches its grip.

Atlantic Canada, which includes Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador, also begins to experience the onset of spring. The mix of rain and snow in cities like Halifax and St. John's gives way to predominantly rainy conditions as temperatures rise from 1°C (33.8°F) to 9°C (48.2°F).

Snowfall in April is considerably reduced across the country. The exception remains the higher elevations and the far northern regions, where snow can persist. As the snow melts, especially in areas that experienced significant winter snowfall, the runoff can lead to increased river levels and occasional flooding.

In comparison to March, April brings noticeably milder temperatures and an increase in rainfall across the country. The transition to spring becomes more evident, especially in the southern regions, and Canadians begin to look forward to the warmth and long days of summer just around the corner.
