Grand Manan and New Brunswick's Climate: Weather broadcasts are given in degrees Celsius rather than Fahrenheit. During the summer, days can get quite warm but are cooler in the evening. Temperatures tend to be warmer inland and cooler along the shore.  The Bay of Fundy remains cool throughout the summer with highs around 13 C (65 F).  This keeps the air temperature above the Bay cool.  If conditions are windy, the apparent air temperature will seem much cooler.  Fog will form in the summer when the continent is very warm and humid and this air mass moves out into the Gulf of Maine and Bay of Fundy which is much cooler than the land.  Fog can be very persistent over water but will often "burn off " on land. In the winter sea smoke or "vapour" forms when the water temperature is much warmer than the air temperature (typically -10 C or 14 F and colder).  Expect snow in the winter but coastal areas may get rain and freezing rain because of the warming influence of the Bay of Fundy.

Average Highs:
June             23 C - 73 F
July             26 C - 79 F
August        25 C - 77 F
September  19 C - 66 F

Clothing. The following are suggestions for land activities.  If you are engaged in any water activities make sure you have long pants, wind breakers (rain gear is also good for this) and many layers.  Layering allows you to adjust to changing temperatures, close to land it may be quite warm, further out it may be chilly.  Mitts or gloves, hats and long underwear may be required at some times.  Frequently tour operators have extra clothing but it is best to bring your own.  Remember sun screen, dark glasses and a brimmed hat will protect you from excessive UV radiation.
