Climate Chart of Prince Edward Island, Canada

Climate overview

Temperature

The coolest monthly mean temperature is in February, at -6.2 °C; this is a monthly average, not a daytime low or a promise that every day will feel alike. For visitors who prioritise cooler monthly averages, that provides a specific point of reference when choosing dates. The warmest monthly mean is shared by July / August, at 20.0 °C. Monthly means describe the overall temperature level rather than daytime maximums, so pack and plan with the possibility of day-to-day variation in mind.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall reaches its highest monthly level in June, at 3.59 mm/day. Visitors during that month may want rain-ready layers and flexible outdoor plans; this average does not say how often rain falls or guarantee wet weather on a particular day. For visitors prioritising lower average rainfall, February is the conditional option, with mean daily rainfall of 1.05 mm/day. That lower monthly mean is not a guarantee of dry days, and it does not measure the frequency or timing of showers.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall reaches its highest monthly level in February, at 17.47 mm/day. This records an average amount, not the number of snowy days, snow depth, or how long snow remains on the ground, so it cannot establish snow-cover or skiing conditions.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine is highest in July, at 10.73 hours/day, which can be useful context for planning daylight outdoor activities. Sunshine duration is not the same as day length, and the average cannot promise clear skies on a given date. The lowest mean daily sunshine occurs in December, at 3.31 hours/day. Visitors who want to plan outdoor sightseeing around brighter average conditions can use this as a contrast, while allowing for daily weather to differ from the monthly mean.
