Maps of Canada’s temperatures
Interactive maps of Canada’s temperature: the typical value for any month, how recent months compare to normal, and how much each region has warmed — from ERA5-Land.
Canada’s temperature varies enormously by place and by season. These continuous maps are drawn from ERA5-Land, the European Centre’s high-resolution (~9 km) reanalysis. This dataset blends weather observations with a physical model to create a gap-free temperature field over the land. Oceans and large lakes are left blank. Pick a month for the typical temperature, check how the recent months compare to that normal, and see the change since the mid-century. Hover anywhere for the value at that spot.
Typical temperature, month by month
Has it been unusual lately?
How the most recent months compare to the 1991–2020 average. Red indicates where it has run warmer than normal, blue where it has been cooler. Switch the window between the past month, three months, and year, and hover for the value where you live. A single warm or cool month is weather, not a trend; for the long-term signal, see the warming map below.
