| About Kingston Weather
The climate and weather in Kingston goes from one extreme to the other,
with extremely warm and humid summers and cold, snowy winters. During
the winter it snows a lot, and snow is not uncommon both in spring
and autumn. Temperatures well below freezing are experienced in winter,
and the bitter Kingston weather is punctuated by the extremely cold wind
chill. The best part of the cold Kingston weather in the winter is the
largest outdoor skating rink, the Rideau Canal is able to be open for
months at a time!
Summer brings sunshine and pleasant days, with high
humidity on many occasions, although highs seldom exceed 100°F (38°C),
they can when you combine the humidity that comes from Kingston being
in a valley. Rain can be expected any time of year in Kingston, but late
summer, early fall tends to be the wettest seasons. A feature of Kingston
Weather is the possibility of late autumn heat waves, enjoyed as 'Indian
summers', which frequently occur. |
