How about a trip to Canada Far Southeast
A Brief Summary
This easterly collection of islands on the Atlantic coast, Nova Scotia is a land of craggy and rocky inlets, coves and harbours. Fishing here is huge and by far the largest employer on the islands with boats heading out into the rough waters of the north Atlantic on a continual basis, whatever the weather! This area is also renowned for having some of the highest tides in the world, making harbours and fishing ports even more hazardous places to leave boats without having a very good idea of what you’re doing. Like much of eastern Canada, NS has a strong British heritage and many of the places are named after locations in the UK, particularly those in the north of the UK. If you have a fondness for quirky fishing towns and exquisite marine cuisine, there aren’t many places in the world that do it better than here… and the lobster really is as incredible as it’s reputation leads you to believe!
Location
About the Weather
Canada’s eastern-most coast sees a climate not dissimilar (but more extreme) to north western Europe, dominated by the influence of the Atlantic. Winters are cold, sometimes very cold, with appreciable snow, falling on most days from Dec to Feb and limited sunshine. Spring is highly changeable and can be warm and bright in May particularly, but is often cool, wet and overcast. Summers are short, warm and bright, but seldom very sunny with only Jul and Aug seeing reliably blue skies, it is also the only time of year where night time temperatures are not expected to fall to, or below 0°c. Autumns are cool and increasingly overcast with plentiful rain and temperatures above 22°c quite unusual after mid Sep. All seasons see windy weather and reliable, often quite heavy precipitation. Storms in late Autumn and winter can be severe with blizzards common
