Peak Season:
Summer, May to August, makes up Halifax’s peak season. Pleasant temperatures, usually in the low teens to low 20s C and festivals, appeal to tourists who flock to the city during this period. It’s best to book flights to Halifax and accommodation in advance to avoid disappointment and get the best deal.
Autumn is another popular time to book a flight to Halifax, as the festival season continues, temperatures drop only slightly (low to high teens C) and visitors can see the beautiful autumn foliage. Although the crowds die down slightly, room rates do not drop significantly.
Low Season:
The least popular time to travel to Halifax is during spring, when the average high temperature is in the single digits C. Although low room rates and cheap flights can be found, the wet climate and slushy terrain is off putting to most. This, however, can be the perfect time for budget-minded travellers to snap up a deal.
November to February marks another quieter period in the city. Temperatures are usually in the single digits C and there is frequent snowfall during the winter season. If you don’t mind wearing warm layers then plan your holiday over this time to take advantage of low accommodation rates. Book a flight during winter to explore Nova Scotia’s ski slopes.
