Manitoba’s climate swings from really cold winters to warm summers because it’s so far inland in central Canada. Winters can drop to around −40 °C (−40 °F) in some places, making it one of the chilliest places in North America during the cold months. In summer, especially in the south around Winnipeg and Lake Winnipeg, daytime temperatures often reach into the 20s °C (70s–80s °F) — great for outdoor fun and festivals. Spring and fall bring milder weather and a chance to see dramatic seasonal changes in leaves and wildlife. Precipitation varies across the province, with most rain falling in late spring and summer. Snow usually starts in late November and can stick through much of April in many parts of the province. The weather extremes are part of the reason Manitoba feels so wild and open compared to coastal regions.
