Traveller notes on St. John's, Newfoundland in September

Other months in St. John's, Newfoundland

Newfoundland's forum calls late July into August the best chance for good weather, typically around 20°C but genuinely variable — anything from a cool, wet day to full sun. Regulars are consistent that Newfoundland is rarely hot and often feels cooler than the number suggests thanks to the wind, so a rain coat and layers matter more than a summer wardrobe.
