Canada Hardiness Zones

The map below shows the latest version of the Canada Hardiness Zones

The new classifications used a wide range of climate information rather than minimum annual temperatures. It included information such as:

annual mean temperature
maximum temperature of warmest month
minimum temperature of coldest month
annual precipitation
precipitation of warmest month
precipitation of coldest month

Hardiness Zone Classification Based on Minimum Temperature

Temperature scales used to define USDA hardiness zones are the mean annual extreme minimums (that is the lowest temperature recorded there in a given year). The USDA uses temperature data from various sites, averaged over a range of years.
