Climate
Located on the east coast of Canada, Nova Scotia is almose entirely surrounded by the sea, which heavily influences the climate. Due to the ocean's moderating effect Nova Scotia is the warmest province in Canada. Nova Scotia's maritime climate is influenced by the cold air masses passing from the centre of Canada and the warm air masses from the Atlantic Ocean.
Because it juts out into the Atlantic, Nova Scotia is prone to tropical storms and hurricanes in the summer and autumn.
