Today’s weather update across Canada: the live forecast above shows a Pacific frontal system pushing rain onto coastal British Columbia while a ridge of high pressure keeps southern Ontario mild and dry. Environment Canada weather alerts remain in effect for parts of the Prairies.

What is driving today’s conditions across the country?

A low-pressure system off the B.C. coast is drawing moisture inland, bringing steady rain to Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland. East of the Rockies, a strong ridge of high pressure centred over Ontario is producing clear skies and above‑seasonal temperatures from the Great Lakes to the Ottawa Valley. The ridge also keeps southern Ontario weather warnings today confined mostly to fog patches in low‑lying areas. For a canada weather map live view of these systems, refer to the live forecast above.

How will the weather affect your day?

In British Columbia, plan for wet commutes and possible ponding on highways near the coast. Across the Prairies, gusty winds ahead of the ridge may stir up dust in southern Alberta. For Ontario and Quebec, the mild, dry conditions are ideal for outdoor plans, though the southern ontario weather warning today for patchy fog may reduce visibility in river valleys. Northern regions, including the Yukon and Nunavut, remain under seasonal cold with flurries; check the live forecast above for local details.
