Best time to visit St. John's:
Late Spring to Early Fall (June to September):
- Late spring to early fall is the most popular time to visit Newfoundland and Labrador. During this period, the weather is relatively mild, with daytime temperatures ranging from the 50s to 70s Fahrenheit (10-26°C). This is the best time for outdoor adventures such as hiking in Gros Morne National Park, exploring the coastal fjords, and whale watching. Summer is also ideal for experiencing local culture, attending festivals, and visiting historic sites.
Late Fall (October to November):
- Late fall is a great time for those who prefer quieter visits and cooler weather. The fall foliage in areas like Terra Nova National Park turns into vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow, making it ideal for scenic drives and hiking. The weather can be chilly, with daytime temperatures ranging from the 40s to 50s Fahrenheit (4-15°C). Fall is also a good time for birdwatching as migratory birds pass through.
Winter (December to February):
- Winter in Newfoundland and Labrador offers unique experiences for winter enthusiasts. The province sees snowfall, and the weather can be cold, with daytime temperatures often below freezing. This is the best time for winter sports like snowmobiling, ice fishing, and cross-country skiing. It's also an excellent time to witness the stunning icebergs and northern lights (aurora borealis) displays along the coast.
Early Spring (March to May):
- Early spring is a transitional period with varying weather. 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 40s Fahrenheit (1-9°C) in the lower elevations. Early spring is a good time for observing seals and seabirds along the coast.
