What the weather is like in Banff
Expect the coldest winter readings on this map, a short summer, and mountain weather that ignores whatever Calgary is doing an hour to the east. If you are driving out from the city, check this reading rather than Calgary's — the two can differ by more than ten degrees.
Banff townsite sits in the Bow Valley inside Banff National Park, roughly 20 km beyond Canmore, surrounded by Cascade Mountain, Mount Rundle and Sulphur Mountain. Being higher and deeper into the Rockies than anywhere else on this map apart from the lakes means shorter summers, longer winters and snow that can fall in almost any month.
The mountains also make its weather patchy. The valley floor, the ski hills and the passes can all see different conditions at the same moment, so treat this reading as the townsite's weather rather than a forecast for a summit or a ski run. For drives out from Calgary, it is also a useful early warning of what the Trans-Canada Highway through the park is likely to be like.
