Local forecasts & alerts
These links open the official Environment and Climate Change Canada forecast. Current conditions are shown there, with their observation and issue times.
Winter: prepare for sustained cold, wind and exposed skin. Build a complete layering system, including insulated boots, mittens and face protection.
Spring and autumn: plan for changing temperatures, wet snow, slush and wind. Waterproof footwear and a shell complement your warm layers.
Summer: bring lighter layers alongside rain and wind protection. Ask locally about insects and suitable clothing for your planned activities. Cool conditions can still affect outdoor plans.
Average monthly temperatures recorded in 2023, as published by KRG / Nunivaat. This single year illustrates seasonal variation; it is not a climate normal, a daily low, or a forecast for the other communities.
Look beyond the air temperature: wind chill, gusts, visibility and warnings affect what you wear and how you travel. For travel on the land or ice, ask knowledgeable local people about conditions and appropriate preparation. A town forecast alone does not establish whether a route is safe.
