Global and Local Winds in Canada

Canada's latitude coordinates are 45º to 60º N and its longitude coordinates are 75º to 105º  W. Canada is located in the Northern Hemisphere, but more in the western part of the hemisphere. The Ferrell Cell is the atmospheric cell that my county is a part of, because of the 30º to 60º indicator. My country of Canada resides in the wind belt of the prevailing westerlies. The wind that Canada receives comes from the West. My country isn't located near a main pressure belt because of its 45º latitude and 75º longitude. This location doesn't put Canada near a significant pressure belt.

Canada's latitude and longitude coordinates place it into the Ferrell cell. Since Canada is at the borderline requirement of the Ferrell the weather is quite colder because its farther away from the equator and closer to the polar cell. Canada is often associated with cold weather and snow, but most of the time has 4 distinct seasons. The winds in Canada are usually cold and dry

Typical Weather and Tourism in Canada

The winter solstice in Canada occurs on December 21st. The maximum average temperature during the month of December is 28º F, or -9º C. The average minimum temperature in the month of December is 15º F, or -2º C. During the winter solstice precipitation is very unlikely to occur, meaning rain, snow etc.

The month of the summer solstice in Canada is June. The exact day of the summer solstice is June 21st. The average maximum temperature in June is 75º F, or 24º C. The average minimum temperature in the month of June is 56º F, or 13º C. The precipitation during the summer solstice is kinda high. July is the wettest month during the summer, not much snow or any other precipitation, but definitely rain.

March 20th is the date for the spring equinox in Canada. The maximum temperature in the month of March is 36º F or 2º C. The minimum temperature for the month of March is 20º F or -7º C. The snow, rain fall for the month of March is very little and unexpected.

The start of the autumnal equinox is September 23rd. The maximum temperature in the month of September is 69º F or 20º C. The minimum temperature for September is 50º F or 10º C. The precipitation fall is very little for the autumnal equinox. The people in Canada say "if the autumn leaves are slow to fall, prepare for a cold winter."

If I could recommend a season to travel into I would travel during the summer solstice. The summer solstice has the warmest average temperatures, and I prefer warm temperatures. If you were to travel during the summer solstice you could do actives like kayaking and mountain biking. Although the summer solstice has the warmest temperatures, you could run into some weather hazards. The typical summer weather hazards are thunderstorms and tornadoes.
