October overview
Overall, October was warmer than average in the North and East, while the Yukon, British Columbia, and the Prairies experienced near-average temperatures.
Temperature anomaly (difference from normal) across Canada for the month of October.
The month started with exceptionally high temperatures in the East, setting all-time record highs for October in numerous areas of Ontario and Quebec:
- Ottawa airport recorded a temperature of 30.9°C on October 3, surpassing the previous October record of 27.8°C set in 1946.
- Montreal saw temperatures reach 29.3°C on October 4, surpassing the previous October record of 28.3°C set in 1968.
On the other side of the country, October began with below-average temperatures, but soon both the West and North experienced record warmth. By October 21, frigid air started displacing the warm air in the West and as this unseasonably cold air pushed south and eastward, many regions witnessed their first significant snowfall of the season. On October 23 to 24, 10 to 30 cm of snow fell over parts of Alberta, with snowfall extending across the southern Prairies, portions of Ontario and Quebec, and finally reaching Atlantic Canada by month-end. Fredericton transitioned from summerlike temperatures of 24.9°C on October 28 to a high of only 5.7°C on the 29, dropping further to a high of 1°C on the 30.
Precipitation patterns varied across the country in October, with many parts of British Columbia experiencing well-below-average precipitation for the month, while southern and central Quebec saw considerably above average moisture levels.
