Weather
In our experience, the weather in the north is not unlike weather in Ontario. Normally daytime temperatures can range from 20° C (70° F) to 30° C (90° F). The weather is usually dry and sunny, with daylight lasting 22 to 24 hours. Nighttime temperatures relate to how warm it has been during the day where expectation can be that if it is 20° C (70° F) during that day, it could be fairly cool at night. Typically, the days are warm and sunny and the nights are pleasant. The general climate is dry, with warm, sunny days, in which temperatures can reach 35°C (95F).
Weather is what you get; climate is what you expect is an old saying that shows how unpredictable the weather can really be. Over the course of eighteen years, Canoe North Adventures has had less than a handful of trips where the weather has been either rainy or cold. For this reason, we recommend you prepare for uncertain weather since cold spells and high winds can occur.
Global warming has meant that particular temperature is warmer, much warmer. Most of Canada has seen warming, but the greatest warming has been in the northwest part of the country up to perhaps as much as two degrees Celsius on average over the last 50 years.
