The live forecast above highlights Fortaleza’s conditions; for Canada this week, a powerful Pacific frontal system brings widespread rain to British Columbia while a cold Arctic ridge keeps the Prairies below freezing, with daytime highs ranging from –8°C in Calgary to 12°C in Vancouver and a sharp warming trend expected by Friday in the East.

What drives the weather pattern across Canada this week?

A deep upper-level trough over Alaska funnels moisture into British Columbia, producing heavy rain on the coast and snow in the Interior. Meanwhile, a reinforcing Arctic high across the Prairies traps cold air, keeping the weather for this week in Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg well below seasonal averages until a mid-week shift allows milder air to push east. Ontario and Quebec see a mixed pattern: above-zero temperatures early in the week, then a rapid cooling as the Arctic boundary slides south.

How will temperatures trend for major cities?

This week’s temperature range is broad. Vancouver settles between 8°C and 12°C with persistent rain; Calgary sees highs of –8°C to –2°C before a weekend thaw. Toronto sits near 4°C on Monday, dropping to –2°C by Wednesday, then bouncing back to 6°C by Saturday. For those checking toronto weather hourly or weather in toronto 10 days, the mid-week cold snap is the key event. The ottawa weather 14 day trend shows a similar pattern, though Ottawa stays a couple degrees colder. The weather in toronto tomorrow will be the warmest day of the workweek at 5°C.
