Windsor,  Ontario, is blessed with various weather and four seasons. Sitting along the Detroit River, Windsor enjoys a humid continental climate,  which gives the city warm summers, cold winters, and moderate precipitation throughout the four seasons. And that also applies to understanding the difference in the Windsor weather which may help both locales and travelers know how to prepare for the break-in.

Spring: A gradual transition

Winter's end is here, which welcomes spring into Windsor with unpredictable temperatures and lengthening days. We have even more unpredictable weather patterns by March and April,  with persistent remnants of snow from winter and early rains. By May, temperatures increase to an average of about 15°C (59°F,) and the greenery is starting to grow. Spring is a great time to visit Windsor's parks — take Jackson Park, which features flowers blooming and hints of warmer days ahead. But, given the season's frequent rains, keeping an umbrella on hand is always a good idea.

Summer: Warm and humid

Windsor's summer weather is hot and humid. From June through August, daytime temperatures are frequently in the range of 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F), but heatwaves may drive the mercury higher. The closeness to the Great Lakes can bring sudden thunderstorms, but they tend to be brief. Summer is the best season to enjoy the weather in Windsor, as this is when the city's waterfront activities at Windsor Riverfront, outdoor festivals, and wine-tasting trips to nearby Essex County take place.

Autumn: A beautiful cool down

With autumn arriving in early September, Windsor, and surrounding communities are plentiful with beautiful landscapes featuring the same rich red, orange, and yellow colors. Seasons: September and October temperatures are mild, 10°Cto 20°C (50°F to 68°F), so it is the perfect season to engage in outdoor activities like hiking at Ojibway Park. But when November hits, it gets much colder, and the city begins to feel colder winds and more frost, earlier in the year. Autumn brings some of the most beautiful weather to Windsor, and the crisp air and scenic backdrop make it one of the best seasons to see Whiteside Weather in Windsor.

Winter: Cold and snowy

Windsor's winters are cold but not as cold as other places in Canada. Between December and February, temperatures range from -5°C to -10°C (23°F to 14°F) but can drop even lower from time to time. Snow accumulation differs yearly, but Windsor gets less snow than cities farther north. Lake-effect snow can produce sudden bursts of flurries, resulting in postcard-picturesque winter scenes. Despite the cold, winter opens up possibilities for seasonal celebrations such as Bright Lights Windsor with incredible holiday displays.

From enjoying the summer warmth along the riverfront to bundling up for a snowy walk in the winter, the city's weather adds to its own unique charm year-round.
