The Mixedwood plains have relatively warm summers and cool winters. It also has a mild climate and abundant rainfall. This moderation in weather is caused by the surrounding bodies of water (the Great Lakes). The Mixedwood plains also has a wide variety of growing seasons with about 1750-2500 growing degree days above 5°C. The average winter temperatures range from –2.5°C to -7°C. The average July temperatures range from 10°C to 18°C. This ecozone also has an annual precipitation of about 720-1000 mm. The weather in this ecozone changes rapidly, due to it lying in one of North America’s major storm tracks. Some cities like Woodstock and Guelph receive quite a bit of snow.
