February weather forecast
Canada

February continues the winter season in Canada, often characterised by equally cold, if not colder, conditions compared to January. Across the country, residents brace themselves for more snowfall, ice, and sub-zero temperatures.

The northern and central regions maintain their frigid hold with temperatures well below -15°C (5°F). The northern territories, such as Yukon, continue to face extreme cold, with temperatures often dropping to below -30°C (-22°F). February's cold intensity often surpasses January, making it one of the coldest months of the year for these regions.

Meanwhile, the southwest coast, including cities like Victoria and Vancouver in British Columbia, experiences milder conditions with temperatures between 1°C (33.8°F) and 8°C (46.4°F). Despite the relatively warmer weather, these regions are not immune to occasional snowfall and frost.

The Canadian Prairie experiences the brunt of winter during February. Cities like Regina and Saskatoon in Saskatchewan are known for their intense cold, with temperatures frequently dropping below -20°C (-4°F) and even -30°C (-22°F) during severe cold spells. It is not uncommon for these areas to experience wind chill factors that make the perceived temperature feel significantly colder.

Atlantic Canada, comprising the provinces of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador, face an unpredictable mix of weather in February. Cities like Halifax and St. John's experience temperatures ranging from -1°C (30.2°F) to -9°C (15.8°F), accompanied by significant precipitation, often a mixture of rain and snow.

Snowfall remains significant in February, especially in the northern provinces and mountainous regions. Mount Fidelity in Glacier National Park, British Columbia, receives notable snowfall in February, adding to its substantial annual snow accumulation.

Comparatively, February is a tad colder than January in many regions, particularly in the Prairies. However, by the end of February, most regions begin to witness slightly longer daylight hours, a signal of the approaching spring season. However, full spring conditions are still a month away, and winter's hold remains firm throughout February.
