Route vs destination

Destination weather does not tell the whole Canadian driving story

A destination forecast can look fine while the route crosses wind, snow, fog, lake-effect weather, or mountain conditions. DriveWindow focuses on the drive.

Spring and fall often bring fast-changing coastal systems. Winter drives need extra attention to freezing rain and snow timing. Key weather factors: coastal rain bands, gusty wind near exposed bridges, fog and low visibility in southern New England.

What this planning page is for

Destination weather describes expected conditions at arrival. Route weather follows the vehicle between cities and across provinces, passes, lake zones, or borders at the time each section is reached.

Forecasts are estimates and can change. Check official weather alerts and road information before departure.
