Nova Scotia lies in the mid-temperate zone and, although the province is almost surrounded by water, the climate is closer to [[continental climate]] rather than [[Oceanic climate|maritime]]. The winter and summer temperature extremes of the continental climate are moderated by the ocean.<ref name=ECclimate>{{cite web |url=http://atlantic-web1.ns.ec.gc.ca/climatecentre/default.asp?lang=En&n=61405176-1 |title=The Climate of Nova Scotia |work=The Climates of Canada |publisher=Environment Canada |access-date=7 June 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100419024000/http://atlantic-web1.ns.ec.gc.ca/climatecentre/default.asp?lang=En&n=61405176-1 |archive-date=19 April 2010}}</ref> However, winters are cold enough to be classified as continental—still being nearer the freezing point than inland areas to the west. The Nova Scotian climate is in many ways similar to the central [[Baltic Sea]] coast in Northern Europe, only wetter and snowier. This is true although Nova Scotia is some fifteen parallels further south. Areas not on the Atlantic coast experience warmer summers more typical of inland areas, and winter lows are a little colder. On 12 August 2020, the community of Grand Étang, famous for its [[Suetes|Les Suêtes]] winds, recorded a balmy overnight low of {{cvt|23.3|C}}.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_data/daily_data_e.html?StationID=10792&timeframe=2&StartYear=1840&EndYear=2021&Day=15&Year=2020&Month=8# |title=Daily Data Report for August 2020: Grand Etang, Nova Scotia |date=31 October 2011 |publisher=Government of Canada |access-date=14 July 2021 |url-status=live |archive-date=14 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210814233610/https://climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_data/daily_data_e.html?StationID=10792&timeframe=2&StartYear=1840&EndYear=2021&Day=15&Year=2020&Month=8}}</ref>
