First of all, lets start of with what provinces ARE located in the prairies' climatic region. They are Edmonton, Winnipeg, Prince Albert , Saskatoon, Calgary and Regina.

The prairie climate has absolutely NO PHYSICAL BARRIERS TO PREVENT ARCTIC AIR MASS FROM FLOWING INTO SOUTHERN INTERIOR OF N.A so it gets pretty cold!

Winters are COLD!!! In January, Winnipeg's climate goes down to

-17.8 CELSIUS.

The good part is ... summer is HOT!!!

WHY?

Well, tropical air masses comes from the Gulf of Mexico :)

So it goes up to 19.5 Celsius.

Most of the prarie is dry - average precipitation of Winnipeg is 514mm.

There is not a lot of rain but you should expect it.

What is the climate of prairie provinces?

The climate of the prairie provinces does vary depending on how far north ( or south ) you are in that province. The further north you go, the winters are very very cold with very short daylight hours, and the summer has long daylight hours, and can get to be quite hot. There can be a lot of snow on the ground, and the waters are frozen for roughly six months of the year. In the south, the temperatures are milder in general, but the winters can still produce some bitter cold temperatures and a lot of snow. The southern part of the prairies is also very windy, with 80km/h winds not uncommon. In summer, it can reach 35º or more.
