Weather Changes Everything?

Temperatures for June 19, 2020, East Coast Canada

The Maritime Weather Agency is a simple Facebook Page and yes, it has supplied the graphic for this weeks Blog. The wind blowing from the South West up the Coast, along the Eastern Seaboard flows over the Atlantic Ocean, wisping over temperatures of about 10 degrees Celsius.

As that cool air hits the land it starts to warm transforming an acceptable breeze into a stifling wave of hot dry air as it moves North deeper into the East Coast.

Warm temperatures start early in the year warming the land from its winter slumber; however, the flourishing life of spring gives way to a dormant summer due to persistent dry blue skies. As a tourist it's a fun way to spend ones summer; however, as a resident you've got to live through it year after year.


It is always good as a vacationer to find the "Optimum" spot to enjoy. Breathing clean salt ocean air with a bit of moisture and a hint of coolness left in it is refreshing. As the nights progress, the air remains cooler, the farther inland it goes. Waking to a heavy dew, leaves saturated with the ocean air that had blown in that night..... inhaling a hint of crisp air as one opens ones eyes and listens to the breeze rustling the dew soaked leaves.... and, yes.... it is that quiet and the air is that fresh.

That map with the temperatures for the East Coast Maritime Region, while reading this Blog, you did glance up and look at those temperatures right? You did notice that cooler set of numbers along the Southern tip right? That's where you want to be.... A picture is worth a thousand words. Understand the geography.... understand the appeal.

Why did we pick South Shore as a place to create Welshtown Haven, an All Season, Weekly Rental Vacation Property? The Atlantic Ocean's moderation of the Temperature played a role in our decision making process. The Winters are moderate and the summers long but moderated as well.
