The weather can be crisp, with daytime temperatures ranging from the 40s to 50s Fahrenheit (4-15°C). Fall is also a good time for apple picking, visiting farmers' markets, and exploring historic sites.

Winter (December to February):

• Winter in PEI offers a serene atmosphere and opportunities for winter sports enthusiasts. The weather can be cold, with daytime temperatures often below freezing. This is the best time for activities like ice skating, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing in provincial parks and trails. The holiday season brings festive events and a cozy ambiance to the island.

Early Spring (March to May):

• Early spring is a transitional period with varying weather conditions. While it's not the most popular time for outdoor activities due to melting snow and wet conditions, it can be a quieter time to visit. Daytime temperatures start to warm up, ranging from the 30s to 50s Fahrenheit (1-10°C) in the lower elevations. Early spring is a good time for birdwatching as migratory birds return, and it marks the start of the gardening season.
