Weather in Ottawa

The best time to visit Ottawa is between April and May, when temperatures can rise to 19°C (66°F). This time of year also coincides with some of the capital's key events, including the Tulip Festival. Summer is the most popular time for a visit, as it's the warmest time of year, with temperatures around 26°C (79°F) but it's also the most expensive. If you like ice-skating and festivals, go in the winter but wrap up warm and with several layers to keep the cold at bay. Temperatures can plummet to around -10°C (14°F).
