Canada Historical Climate Trends

Canada is the second largest country in the world, with an area of 9,984,670 square km (3,854,082 square miles). Canada has apparently been keeping track of temperatures across the country since 1948. The number of weather stations that track weather, now and in the past, is impossible to determine.

Here is the latest Annual report on Climate Trends and Variations in Canada.
