Climate
Ingonish has a humid continental climate. Winters are long, cold and snowy. In the months of December and January, snow can fall nearly every day due to sea effect snow showers which blow in from the unfrozen Gulf of St. Lawrence. Ingonish is also prone to intense Nor-Easters. As the winter progresses, the surrounding waters become covered in ice which delays the onset of spring. Summer arrives quickly though, usually in mid to late June. The cold spring gives way to a beautiful summer, with lots of warm, sunny days. In summer, the weather pattern shifts to a warm southwest flow, and lasts into the fall. These warm southwest winds blow down-slope from the Cape Breton Highlands, drying out and warming as it descends. Although the surrounding water freezes during winter, it warms very quickly through the summer, with sea surface temperatures peaking around 21°C (70°F) in August. The highest temperature ever recorded was 37.7 °C (99.9 °F) on 10 August 2001. The lowest temperature was −28.0 °C (−18.4 °F) on 18 January 1982. Weather data has been recorded at Parks Canada in Ingonish Beach since 1950. In 2000, Environment Canada upgraded the climate station to an automated weather station.
