Ontario: Weather, water, and more!

Are you from Europe and looking for a great place to vacation? Ontario is an amazing place to vacation, and Owasco RV Rentals in Clarington, Ontario, is the perfect place to start your adventure. Looking for somewhere warm, dry, and gorgeous? Here’s why European travelers should choose Canada—and us—for their next unforgettable journey.

🌷 May – Fresh and Green

  • Average air temperature: 10–18°C (50–65°F)
  • Typical weather: Spring arrives properly in May. Days are mild and sunny, but evenings can still feel cool. Rain showers are common as everything turns green again.
  • Lake temperatures: 8–12°C (46–54°F). The lakes are still cold from winter thaw, so swimming isn’t ideal yet — but the scenery is beautiful and campgrounds start to open.

Best for: sightseeing, hiking, fewer crowds.

  • Lake temperatures: 14–18°C (57–64°F). The shallower lakes and bays begin to warm, making it possible for brave swimmers to take a dip.
