About Saskatchewan > Climate

Saskatchewan is a land where each season has its own special charms.

Autumn begins in mid-September with warm, sunny days that give way to cool, crisp nights with huge harvest moons.  City and countryside erupt in a glorious display of colour.  Temperatures range between a low of -9 degrees Celsius at night to highs of +19 degrees C during the day (on average).

When winter begins in mid-November, the days are generally sunny, the snow dry and powdery.  Our coldest days are often our most beautiful days, with sun dogs blazing in the sky and frost shining on every surface.  Often on winter nights the dancing Northern Lights appear.  Temperatures range between highs of 0 degrees C during the day to lows of -24 degrees C during the night (on average).

Spring explodes with new growth around mid-March.  As the days and nights get warmer, yards turn green, gardens flourish, flowers bloom and farm fields burst into colour.  Temperatures range between lows of -13 degrees C at night to highs of +15 degrees C during the day (on average).

Summer is hot, with sunny days and warm nights.  Parks, beaches and backyards are full.  Families go to the many summer fairs and festivals, or just get in the car and explore the countryside, where oceans of flowering crops of green, yellow and purple be seen rippling in the breeze.  July and August are the warmest months of the year with temperatures ranging between +15 degrees C during the night to +25 degrees C during the day (on average).
