Climate
Climate data is from Yarmouth Airport which is located Template:Cvt south of the geographical coordinates of the municipality.
Yarmouth has a humid continental climate (Köppen: Dfb), closely bordering on an oceanic climate (Köppen: Cfb), typical of climates surrounded by the sea but close to large continents such as southern Norway and coastal Hokkaido but with latitude variations. Being near the -3 °C isotherm in the average of the coldest month (east of the city), causing that in peninsular areas like Yarmouth Bar and Cape Forchu are between a transition band for the oceanic climates (Cfb).[2][3] Winters are cool and rainy with a January average of Template:Cvt though owing to strong maritime influences, temperatures below Template:Cvt are very rare, and the average high never drops to below freezing at any point in the year.[4][5] During this period of time, the weather can be unsettled and cloudy due to the Nor'easters coming up the coast from the southwest.[5] As a result, Yarmouth averages only 68–100 hours of sunshine from December to February or 25%–34% of possible sunshine.[4] The average annual snowfall is Template:Cvt, which can come from Nor'easters from the southwest with a maximum snow depth of Template:Cvt in January, owing to its mild winters, among the mildest in Canada east of the Rockies.[5][4]
Yarmouth's summers are cool due to the strong coastal influence from the sea which keeps summer temperatures cool, meaning temperatures above Template:Cvt are very rare.[5] The average temperature in the warmest month, August is Template:Cvt. Spring and fall are transitional seasons in which falls are warmer than spring since the waters are at the warmest temperatures in fall and the coldest during early spring.[5] Precipitation is significant, averaging Template:Cvt a year, with July and August the driest months on average and November the wettest month on average. An outstanding feature is Yarmouth's late-fall to early-winter precipitation maximum, owing to the combination of intense storm activity from November to January and relatively more-stable summers, with thunderstorm activity here much less frequent than in the U.S. Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and points southward. Yarmouth averages 1,898.3 hours of sunshine or 41.2% of possible sunshine with summer being the sunniest and winter being the cloudiest.[6] Yarmouth averages 191 days of fog each year.[7]
The highest temperature ever recorded in Yarmouth was Template:Cvt on July 16, 2013.[4] The coldest temperature ever recorded was Template:Cvt on February 14, 1894.[8]
