Fall, or Autumn, in Canada is my favorite time of the year. In central and eastern Canada, cooler temperatures in September provide relief from the heat and humidity of August and leaves on the trees begin their transformation to stunning shades of orange, red and yellow. Many people travel to take in this spectacular fall foliage in Canada. Vancouver's rain slows down to make September one of the city's least rainy months. Temperatures continue to dip and bring the first snow flurries usually in November and more substantial snowfalls in December.
In some parts of Canada, such as the far north, what feels like winter lasts year-round. In other parts of Canada, such as the southeast coast of Vancouver Island, some years wintry weather never arrives at all.
When winter seems to begin and end is, however, a highly subjective issue. What might feel like winter to one person would not necessarily feel like winter to another.
Officially, winter begins at the winter solstice (usually December 21st) and ends at the spring equinox (usually March 21st).
The first day of the astronomical spring in Canada as defined by the International Astronomical Union is March 20th. The first day of the climatological spring as defined by the World Meteorological Organization is March 1. The ecological spring begins locally with the beginning of the growing season. This can be as early as February on the west coast and as late as April or May elsewhere in Canada.
Canada has a day on February 2 called Groundhog Day. Theoretically, when this animal comes out of the ground from hibernation, it is because spring is here.
Fall and winter begin in Canada the same as elsewhere in the Northern Hemisphere: September 22, 2009 for fall, and December 21, 2009 for winter.
Canada has the same seasons as other countries. The country has spring, summer, winter, and fall. The climate does vary throughout the country.
The spring months in Canada are similar to those in the US. Spring typically starts there in March to the beginning of June.
