Late Spring to Early Fall (June to September):

• Late spring to early fall is the most popular time to visit Nunavut. During this period, the weather is relatively mild, with daytime temperatures ranging from the 40s to 60s Fahrenheit (4-20°C) in some regions. This is the best time for outdoor adventures such as hiking, wildlife viewing, and kayaking. It's also an excellent time for experiencing the Midnight Sun, where the sun doesn't set for an extended period, offering long daylight hours for exploration.

Late Fall (October to November):

• Late fall is a transitional period with cooler weather and shorter days. The fall foliage in some regions turns into vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow, making it ideal for scenic drives and photography. The weather can be chilly, with daytime temperatures ranging from the 20s to 40s Fahrenheit (-6 to 4°C).

Winter (December to February):

• Winter in Nunavut offers a unique set of experiences for those who enjoy cold-weather activities and witnessing the Northern Lights (aurora borealis). The weather is cold, with daytime temperatures often well below freezing, especially in the northern parts. This is the best time for activities like dog sledding, snowmobiling, ice fishing, and northern lights viewing.

Early Spring (March to May):

• Early spring is a challenging time for visitors due to melting snow and ice, making travel difficult. However, it can be a quieter time to visit if you are prepared for the changing conditions. Daytime temperatures start to warm up, ranging from the teens to 30s Fahrenheit (-9 to 4°C) in some areas. It's also a time for observing migratory birds and wildlife.
