Dans le Canada méridional, à la place des quatre variations saisonnières de l'Europe de l'Ouest, il y aurait plutôt trois périodes : culturale [4 mois], transitoire [5 mois] et gélivale [3 mois]. De plus, partout, les périodes sont mal centrées; le froid est déphasé, le printemps étant «plus l'agonie de l'hiver que l'aube de l'été» (André Giroux). Enfin, toujours à cause des variations spatiales, les périodes semblables ne se produisent pas en même temps, à l'intérieur du pays. 1, record 1, French, - p%C3%A9riode%20g%C3%A9livale

Régimen de heladas. La influencia de la proximidad del Río Paraná, y la consiguiente mayor humedad se manifiestan sobre la producción de heladas en la región. El número medio anual de días con heladas en abrigo aumenta de 15 a 25, en tanto que el período de heladas varía de 90 a 110 días. 1, record 1, Spanish, - per%C3%ADodo%20de%20heladas
