Which areas of Canada have the best summers? I know everyone has a different opinion of this but I mean a decent length, hottish Summer. I love the snow in Winter, love the Autumn but wondered which areas also get a good Summer ie. better than the UK where Summer just seems to last for about a week and the rest of the year it is Autumn.

Ontario has wonderful summers, lovely and hot. Pobably all of Canada gets better summers than the UK even The Territories!

Great here too with temps into the 30's ...... plus it lasts longer than a few weeks ~ can't wait for this one

Okanagan/North Thompson - roughly Kamloops south to the US border.

Regularly in the 30's, not unusual to top 40 degrees. Dry, no humidity. T-shirt and shorts from April to October.

St John's, Newfoundland. Generally summer is the third thursday in August.

We're currently in Ottawa and it can hit the 40's, but very humid. Depends on the year for length of summer, sometimes can be early May through October, others can be June - August.

Hottest summer - the highest average afternoon temperature in June, July, and August

Choose "Hottest Summer" it's right at the top of the list.

Any where it doesn't rain and isn't foggy...........

In 11 years ive never seen it in 40s here, not unless you are talking humidex, and even then its rare...

That's a cool link.

I was surprised to see that Vancouver and Victoria were both cooler than Calgary in the summer. I mean I know it rains there all the time, but even so - it's warm rain, innit?

It has never officially reached 40°C in Ottawa.

The highest recorded temp is 37.8°C In July of 1944.

The warmest day since 2000 is 36.9°C in August of 2001

So shoot me for the sake of 3 degrees feels a whole lot hotter with the humidex.

My MIL (bless her) lived in Duncan on the Island, she used to tell us it was a dry rain.
