Winnipeg's UV index is usually low to moderate, often ranging from 1 to 6 throughout the year, with higher values in late spring and summer months due to stronger sunlight and clearer skies. The city experiences cold winters with snow and ice, warm summers with occasional thunderstorms, and transitional seasons that can vary rapidly in temperature and weather conditions. Compared to other parts of Canada, Winnipeg has more extreme temperature swings and less rainfall than coastal cities; it is colder and snowier than many U.S. neighboring areas but warmer in summer compared to northern Canadian regions.
