Snapshots
Northern Ontario

Climate

The weather in Northern Ontario can be summed up in one word: extreme. Temperatures can vary in some areas as much as 40°C. Hot, muggy summers are juxtaposed with frigid winters characterized by snow and bone-chilling winds. The relatively flat Canadian Shield provides little barrier for the weather systems that sweep down from the Arctic.
