Rate the climate: Regina, Saskatchewan (snowy, warm, recorded, temperatures)

Regina, Saskatchewan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I would give it an A-

Summer needs to be a little warmer and drier, and winter just a little snowier. Otherwise, this is awesome!

[Kaul]

B-, summer is too hot. Winter needs to be longer and colder

A

Would prefer snowier winters and more rain, but otherwise a great climate!

B-

Winters are cold and snowy (good), but the rest of the year is a little too dry. The record high of 43.3C is also a concern; I know SK has recorded temps of up to 45C. This is what you move to Canada to escape from! The lowest I'd rate a Canadian city is a C (Toronto) because of their humid summers which are not too dissimilar to Sydney's.

I don't like how cold those winters are. I'll give it a B because of that. Summer nights in the 50s are lovely, though.

The average annual temperature for Regina is 37 and that for Anchorage is 36.2. I think it's odd that Anchorage is classified as a subartic climate and Regina is not. Their average annual temperature are virtually the same, let alone the fact that Regina has colder winters. If you look at the vegetation surrounding Regina, more than 50% of trees are evergreens. This climate should be classified as hemi-boreal like Quebec City rather than humid continental

The summer temperatures are very nice! Wouldnt expect them to be like this in a 50 latitude!!

But the winter is waaaaay too cold and long.

- Too much cold weather, average yearly max is only 9C = enough said.
Would still live here before the tropics though. Still a D.

That record high is very surprising!

Summers are very nice (warm and very sunny -- 10 hrs of sun per day on average), but it's miserably cold for 7 months of the year and the possibility of frost in every month. D-.

Most of Canada's absolute record high temperatures are actually from small towns in the vicinity of Regina (Yellow Grass, Midale).
