We are planning to go to Canada & Alaska in May, as advised to us by a number of Canadians on a recent tour of the UK, they recommended either May or Sept, when pushed all recommended May as too many mozzies in Sept - are they right?

Iggy, I was in BC in late September, early Oct 2006 and then flew to Toronto for a few days and don't recall encountering any mozzies. Didn't do the Alaska cruise bit though. Maybe that is where the mozzies are the problem?
Hopefully, someone who has done both in May, can help. |

I did Canada and the Alaska's Inside Passage cruise in late May, and I did a 2 week land tour of Alaska in June with Cosmo.
I had mozzies in May one here or there, in Alaska in June it's Summer and there was alot more, didn't come across any on the cruise. |

Well I haven’t been in September Iggy but we have been to Canada and Alaska in July-August 1991, June-July 1998 and August 2002. The trips included a couple of Inside Passage cruises, north of the Arctic Circle, land tours of the Rockies, and land tours of Alaka-Canada via Dawson City and the Yukon etc. There was not a mozzie to be seen on any of those occasions. |

Thanks Pauline, Allison & Dragon. Allison what was the weather like in May, I expect it will be cool particularly at night, what about rain?

I did the Alaska cruise and land tour in 2004 at the end of May. Just saw an occasional mosquito here and there. Later in June and July is worse. My brother and his wife went in July and he said he was up swatting mosquitos all night in one of the hotels they were in. The weather in May was 30's(f) in the morning and got warmer later on, 40's sometimes 50's. We didn't have much rain either.

Hi Iggy, I went to Canada in May 23 2000, the weather, we had some beautiful warm sunny days, then we had snow and rain as well. In Alaska on the cruise we had excellent weather for the week, the locals said it was usual to go 4 days with out rain, it did pour rain on the last day when we left Ketchikan. Yes the nights were cool. The weather is very unpredictable. The 2 week land tour of Alaska I did in June 2004 I know it was summer there but you don't expect to have 3 days that weren't 30c. The locals said it was freak weather. |

We took our Alaska cruisetour at the end of August, 2004. The weather was nice with temps in the sixties and seventies. The forest fires in northern Alaska were quite bad that year.
