Winter and summer, Alberta’s daytime skies are famous for staying blue. Due to it’s northern latitude, the province has over 16 hours of daylight during the summer months. While Alberta has cold winters, even the lowest temperatures are relieved by low humidity and warm “Chinook” winds, which melt snow and bring people out in their shirt sleeves. In summer, Alberta’s temperatures average 20C (70F).
