What is the climate of prairie provinces?

Answer 1

The climate of the prairie provinces does vary depending on how far north ( or south ) you are in that province.

The further north you go, the winters are very very cold with very short daylight hours, and the summer has long daylight hours, and can get to be quite hot.

There can be a lot of snow on the ground, and the waters are frozen for roughly six months of the year.

In the south, the temperatures are milder in general, but the winters can still produce some bitter cold temperatures and a lot of snow. The southern part of the prairies is also very windy, with 80km/h winds not uncommon. In summer, it can reach 35º or more.
