Sunny, stormy, a chance of snow? Your Canada Day 2025 forecast
Canada Day is almost here and all eyes are on the forecast. Will the weather cooperate with your cookouts and fireworks shows this year?
Conditions are looking good across most of the country for Tuesday—with a couple of notable exceptions. Here's a look at what you can expect for your holiday plans ahead.
DON'T MISS:
How quintessentially Canadian will the weather prove to be this Canada Day? Let's take a look at the Maple Leaf Scale to judge your conditions from 'low Canadian vibes' to 'peak Canadian weather.'
Warm and sunny conditions will dominate the holiday for many major cities across Western Canada from British Columbia to Manitoba.
While some areas like Kelowna and Medicine Hat will see above-seasonal temperatures, we're not looking at any stifling heat for your outdoor holiday plans.
Dry weather is in the cards for most of the region through Tuesday afternoon. Areas north of Edmonton, as well as in northern B.C., could see some showers interrupt your evening plans. But otherwise conditions are looking great for most—make sure to get out and enjoy it if you can.
Nature may put on its own fireworks display for some communities on Tuesday as an active pattern slides east through the day.

Portions of southern and eastern Ontario will start the day with a risk for showers and thunderstorms on Tuesday morning, which could linger into the afternoon hours. The good news, though, is that clearing is likely in time for evening fireworks.
Things are looking more unsettled in southern Quebec through the second half of Tuesday, with scattered showers and thunderstorms here likely disrupting any outdoor gatherings.
Showers approaching Atlantic Canada may hold off late enough for most fireworks shows, though cloud cover will increase as the system approaches the region.
We couldn't kick off the month of July without talking about a lingering snow threat at least somewhere in the country.
Temperatures may be cold enough for a few spots in Nunavut to witness some snowfall. And, really, what's more Canadian than a touch of snow in the summer?

More hot and humid conditions in south and east after temperature tops 33C
More sweltering temperatures are forecast for southern and eastern parts of England on Tuesday after highs of more than 33C rounded off June. Many areas across the regions will again pass above 30C as a heatwave continues, with temperatures of up to 36C possible, while the rest of the UK will see more changeable conditions, the Met Office said. It comes after the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) extended amber heat health alerts for much of the country into Wednesday morning. There was quite a contrast in the maximum temperature today 👇 — Met Office (@metoffice) June 30, 2025 Monday saw the hottest start to Wimbledon on record, with 32.9C recorded at nearby Kew Gardens, while 33.1C was recorded at Heathrow. Charlwood in Surrey recorded the hottest temperature of the year so far at 33.2C on June 21. Alex Burkill, meteorologist at the Met Office, said there would be a 'three-way split' across the UK on Tuesday, with high temperatures and 'lots of sunshine on offer' in south, central and eastern England. 'There will be a bit of cloud here and there – you can't even rule out one or two showers developing – but actually, across parts of the far South East, barely a cloud in the sky,' he said. 'With all that sunshine, with all the hot weather that we've had recently, the heat's going to continue to build (and) temperatures are going to rise a little bit higher. 'Towards the South East many places high 20s (or) low 30s, but there's potential that we could be looking at around 34, 35, maybe even 36C tomorrow.' Most of England is under an amber heat health alert until 2 July. 🟠⚠While heat affects everyone, some people are more vulnerable. If you're coping well, try to check in on those who might be struggling.🔗 — UK Health Security Agency (@UKHSA) June 30, 2025 Scattered showers coming from the South West will affect parts of Wales and northern England for a time on Tuesday, while largely dry conditions are forecast across north-west Scotland and Northern Ireland, Mr Burkill added. Amber heat health alerts issued by the UKHSA for Yorkshire and the Humber, the East Midlands, the West Midlands, the East of England, London, the South East and the South West have been extended until 9am on Wednesday. A yellow heat health alert has also been extended to the same time for the North West, with significant impacts on health and social care services. Fresher air is expected to sweep in from the continent over Tuesday night into Wednesday, meaning it will start to feel 'a bit more comfortable' in many places, the forecaster said.
