Newfoundland's Climate
Newfoundland's climate is temperate to arctic tundra because Newfoundland is in the bottom right side of
the Canadian Shield. It is arctic tundra in the north and more temperate in the south. A very heavy snowfall is found in the north-east of the island, rivaled only by north of the city of Quebec. Fog is very prevalent on the south-east coasts. The island has a climate much modified by the cold Labrador current, which sweeps down the east coast and then swings to the west along the south coast. This keeps the summer cool, and also lowers the winter temperatures.
