| January to mid-March |
Winter - temperatures hover around 30F with occasional blizzards and really cold weather (0F-10F). Sometimes we can get a warm spell where the temperature goes up to 50F-60F |
30F-35F |
Don't Ask |
Lots of snow the last few years |
The ice floes broke the thermometer! |
An experience,
especially if you love outdoor winter sports and really, really bright sunshine! |
Hard to love but it's often really beautiful. |
| Mid-March to early April |
A mixture of the above and below |
35F-60F |
from freezing to warm |
Lots in late March/early April |
The ice usually melts by now… |
Late March can be dicey, mid-April beautiful |
It's lovely to be here during the transition from winter to spring |
| Late April to early June |
From late April onwards we start to get beautiful warm spring weather with warm (sometimes hot) days and cool nights. There's still a chance that winter will rear its ugly head but we usually beat it back completely by early-May or so. |
60F-75F |
40F |
By mid-June our wells often start to run dry. |
Our lobster season is May 1 to Jun 30. At the start of the season the water is freezing but we often can go swimming by early-June. |
Great time to be here - it is often beautiful and completely uncrowded |
If your holiday is not restricted to the summer months this is a great and less expensive time to be here |
| Mid-June to mid-Sept |
Sunny, hot, dry. Most often day after day after day. Very pleasant and coolish warm at night. If we get bad weather it comes and goes in 2 - 4 days. |
80F-90F |
70F |
By this time we're normally begging for some rain…please, do a rain dance somebody… |
70F-75F Due to the Gulf Stream we have the "warmest waters north of North Carolina" And yes, we really do… |
Excellent time to visit. What we consider 'high-season' still means completely deserted beaches and very few tourists… |
You can't go wrong coming during this time… |
| Mid-Sept to Late Oct |
Sunny, hot, and sometimes with some rain. Very pleasant and warm during the day - cooling off at night. |
70F-85F |
60F |
Some rainy days but often very few |
In early fall the ocean water is as warm or warmer than in the summer |
Often a stunningly beautiful time to be here. |
The fall is my favourite time of year to be here - come at this time if your schedule is flexible |
| Late-Oct to Mid- Dec |
It is often sunny and surprising warm - sometimes right through December. In '03 the car top was down on Dec 26 - it was 65F at night! Occasionally though, we get an early taste of winter-ugh! |
50F-70F |
30F-50F |
Varied weather brings more varied forms of precipitation |
Only for the hardy! We've been known to occasionally go 'ice-sailing' (ask over a bottle of wine…) |
You're taking your chances but you can be very pleasantly surprised. |
Be prepared to experience it all. |
| Dec to Jan |
Chances of snow for Christmas is about 60%-70%. Can be very bright and sunny, especially with fresh, festive snow. |
30F-40F |
20F-35F |
If we get it it's
usually snow. |
Do you have to ask? |
Definitely |
A very peaceful and festive time of year to get away from it all. |
