Late Spring to Early Fall (June to September):

• Late spring to early fall is the most popular time to visit Ontario. During this period, the weather is pleasant, with daytime temperatures ranging from the 60s to 80s Fahrenheit (15-30°C) in many areas. This is the best time for outdoor adventures such as hiking in Algonquin Provincial Park, exploring the Great Lakes and Muskoka region, and enjoying water activities like canoeing, kayaking, and boating. Summer is also ideal for visiting Ontario's vibrant cities, including Toronto and Ottawa, and attending cultural festivals.

Late Fall (October to November):

• Late fall is a great time for those who prefer quieter visits and cooler weather. The fall foliage in regions like Muskoka and the Niagara Escarpment turns into vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow, making it ideal for scenic drives and hiking. The weather can be crisp, with daytime temperatures ranging from the 40s to 50s Fahrenheit (4-15°C). Fall is also a good time for apple picking, visiting wineries, and experiencing Thanksgiving celebrations.

Winter (December to February):

• Winter in Ontario offers excellent opportunities for winter sports enthusiasts. The province has ski resorts like Blue Mountain and Mount Tremblant, with cold weather and ample snowfall. Daytime temperatures can range from the teens to 30s Fahrenheit (-9 to 4°C). This is the best time for skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, and enjoying cozy winter getaways. The holiday season brings festive events and decorations.

Early Spring (March to May):

• Early spring is a transitional period with varying weather. While it's not the most popular time for outdoor activities due to melting snow and wet conditions, it can be a quieter time to visit. Daytime temperatures start to warm up, ranging from the 30s to 50s Fahrenheit (1-10°C) in the lower elevations. Early spring is a good time for birdwatching as migratory birds return, and it marks the start of maple syrup season
