Hazy summer days on Pelee Island
Pelee Island vacation rentals are in particularly high demand during the peak summer season of June to August. Days at this time of year are typically long, sunny and gloriously warm, rather than overbearingly hot. Late spring and early fall are also great times to visit, when temperatures are agreeable, and it may be easier to land a great deal on accommodation. Pelee enjoys one of Canada's mildest climates, but winters can still get very chilly, with a moderate amount of snowfall between December and February. Rain is relatively consistent throughout the year, so be sure to pack something waterproof.
