Canada’s Climate Zones
West coast climate with lots of rain and tall forests More than 4 summer months
Cool grassland - average summer months under 18 degrees Not enough rainfall to sustain forests
Stays below 0 degrees year round
Stays below 10 degrees year round No true summer [over 10] Too dry and cold for tree growth
3 months of summer Coniferous forest - no grain crops
4 months of summer at least Grain crops and forests possible
No true winter [above -3 degrees year round [3 summer months] Plenty of rain - tall forests
Hot summer [above 22 degrees] Mixed agriculture
