Pattycakes693 Posted July 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Can anyone tell me what temps might be expected for this cruise at this time of year? Cruise ends in Quebec early Oct. What kind of outer wear will be needed? Gloves, scarves, hats?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets123 Posted July 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I've had temps between 40 to 85 on assorted cruises up north. You need to be prepared for either. Never had a need for gloves though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marys350 Posted July 24, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Temps will vary at that time of year in New England and Canada. Some days are warm and some are chilly. We did a Canada/New England cruise several years ago at the end of September. I just checked my photos from the trip to see how we and others were dressed. It's a good idea to pack clothes that you can use to dress in layers, as needed. I'd suggest bringing shorts or capris, long pants, long- and short-sleeved shirts, sweater or sweatshirt, a light-weight fleece jacket or water-resistant windbreaker-type jacket with a hood, and a baseball-type cap or hat if you usually wear a hat to block the sun. In my opinion, there is no need for a heavy jacket, scarf, or gloves. However, I say that as a New Englander, and not someone who lives in an area with a warm/hot year-round climate. There are stores in port where tourists can purchase sweatshirts, jackets, knit hats, gloves, etc., if needed. Enjoy your cruise!

klfhngr Posted July 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I'll be going in Sept and have been checking out http://www.weather.com to get ideas as to what the temp will be.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfaeric Posted July 24, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I've had temps between 40 to 85 on assorted cruises up north. You need to be prepared for either. Never had a need for gloves though. +1- We've been to a pretty cool locations in Canada and New England, as well as way too warm (warm enough that we had to buy some lighter clothes so that we didn't have to go back to the tendered ship). Sad to say- plan for both. Layers are awesome- one long sleeve running type shirt under a wind breaker adds a LOT of temperature tolerance- both of which can pack up small.

bouhunter Posted July 24, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Best bet is a good waterproof breathable shell (Northface, Patagonia etc) and layers to choose from for underneath it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkerBee74 Posted July 24, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 24, 2018 From a Canadian. Layer it up. As long as you have multiple layers to wear you will be fine, but expect that it can go down to 40 degrees at night in October, especially out in the Maritimes. Prepare for rain as well. It will usually be above 50 during the days, but 50 itself isn't uncommon either. PS - I assumed you were American and gave you F, but if you're not, 50 is 10C and 40 is about 5C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
