What’s the weather like in Canada in August?

Canada is a vast country, measuring over 3,000 miles from coast to coast. With such a big land mass, the weather varies depending on where you visit in August so it’s worth doing plenty of research before you book a holiday. In Vancouver temperatures are mild at this time of year, while Toronto also has good weather with warm sunshine and only a few scattered showers. In August, the winter ski resort of Banff is also mild and sunny.

On the opposite side of the country, Toronto is slightly warmer with an average temperature of 21°C, highs of 24°C and lows of 17°C after dark. Both Vancouver and Toronto expect just 50mm of rain at this time of year, so August is a relatively dry month in Canada.
