    If you come here in summer, bring some mosquito lotion (expecially if it has been raining).

    If you visit in winter, in Winnipeg it is allowed to wear a scarf, mitts and toque (see even the BSB's wear toques). In Calgary if you wear a toque, you are branded a country hick.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Winnipeg Summers are VERY HOT
    Winnipeg Winters are VERY COLD

    Many people think that Winnipeg is under a five feet of snow year round, but it isn't. Don't bring a parka for the summer!

    For the winter, get a parka, a tuque, gloves, a scarf, and boots. There can be large gusts of wind in Winnipeg, so the temperature can often seem lower than it is. (We call it a WINDCHILL)

    Cold in Winter - Mosquitoes in Summer: Packing List
  • Tip Rating:
  • In the winter (Nov-Apr.) bring a very warm jacket, gloves, a toque might not be a bad idea, whatever, just bring appropriate gear for extreme cold. It gets very cold in Jan and Feb (-35 C) not including the wind.

    In the summer it is quite the opposite it can get hot with temps going up to 33 C and higher. For this weather shorts, light shirts, and the like are fine.

    Fall and Spring can be anything in between, but the Red River and its tributaries threaten to flood every spring, making that time of the year wet and cool, with the odd hot day stuck in for good measure.

    In the summer definitely bring insect repellant as the mosquitos can be horrid, sunscreen is also recommended.

  • Tip Rating:
  • If you are going in the winter, bring a warm winter jacket, gloves, a scarf and a toque (winter wool hat). Boots are also helpful to navigate thru the snow!
    In summer, temperatures can reach 40 C, so bring shows and a tank top and sunscreen. There can also be extreme summer storms with sudden downpours. Have an umbrella with you in case.

    There are many drug stores where you can pick up just about anything you forgot!

    There are many great camping places, but be sure to bring mosquito repllant or you will be bled dry!

  • Tip Rating:
  • In winter bring warm clothing which also combats a windchill. It is not uncommon in winter to have temperatures plumet to -34 degrees Celcius and that is without the windchill. In summer have mosquitoe repellent with Deet and sun protection because it can reach plus 34 C.

    Cold in Winter - Mosquitoes in Summer: Cold!
    If you come in the summer, you should bring shorts, sandals, tshirts, a swim suit, and towels. For winter warm clothing, mits, boots, toque, ect.

    Bug spray. Almost all accomodations are located near malls, so if you leave anything behind you can buy it there.
