When visiting Halifax, be sure to bring a jacket, as the city’s location on the Atlantic Ocean creates a crisp, maritime climate. Summers are cool in temperature and winters are moderate. The average high temperature in January is around 29°F. In July, the average high is 74°F. Halifax receives the most precipitation during the winter, averaging 6.6 inches of precipitation in December.

However, only a small percentage of Nova Scotia's annual precipitation is in the form of snow: fog is present in Halifax about 120 days out of the year. It’s good to know, however, that the fog normally lasts for less than 12 hours.
