Your Victoria Day Weekend Forecast

This weekend is the unofficial start to the camping season, and as we know in Newfoundland and Labrador, the weather for the Victoria Day Weekend is not usually summer-like.

Saturday

Rainy and unsettled weather is expected across much of Newfoundland on Saturday, with widespread showers, fog, and breezy conditions. Eastern and central regions, including the Avalon Peninsula, Clarenville, Gander, and Grand Falls-Windsor, can expect periods of rain with rainfall amounts between 10 and 25 mm in some areas. Fog patches will gradually dissipate through the morning, while winds shift to the southwest or northwest with gusts reaching 40 to 60 km/h. Highs across most of the island will range from 6 to 13 degrees.

On the west coast, including Corner Brook, Deer Lake, and Channel-Port aux Basques, showers or drizzle are expected to taper off through the afternoon with some clearing developing later in the day. Temperatures will reach between 8 and 12 degrees with gusty northwest winds.

Southern Newfoundland, including the Burin Peninsula and Connaigre regions, will see steady rain and fog with temperatures holding near 8 degrees.

Meanwhile, Labrador will see much more favourable conditions. Most regions are expected to experience a mix of sun and cloud with only a slight chance of afternoon showers in western and southeastern areas. High temperatures will range from 9 degrees along parts of the southeast coast to near 19 degrees in central Labrador.
