The climate of Prince Edward Island (Canada)
Prince Edward Island is located on the east coast of Canada and is the
smallest province in the country. Prince Edward Island is only
connected to the mainland by a bridge. Agriculture is the main source
of income here. Because of this it seems time stood still and
everything moves a little slower here. The winters are moderately
cold. Temperatures fluctuate because of the collision of the Arctic
air and the milder Atlantic air. From December till April storms and
snowstorms occur. During spring temperatures remain cool until the
pack ice has melted. Summers are moderately warm but hardly ever
unpleasant with maximum daytime temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius.
The autumn is a relatively pleasant season. The moderate Gulf Stream
will hold off the start of frosty weather. Prince Edward Island gets
enough precipitation with a peak during the end of autumn and the
start of winter and during spring.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
