Please note that Celsius degrees are used for temperature in
Canada. Celsius degrees are 9/5 larger than Fahrenheit degrees. To convert
degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit, multiply by 9/5 and add 32. The two
temperature scales are equivalent at -40 degrees.
There are a few photos of the James Bay Road in the winter on
the
Virtual Tour pages and also on the Rupert River website.
When to go
Generally speaking, the warm months are mid-June
through mid-September. Winters are long, there can be a lot of snow, and it can
get very cold up there. Snow can happen in mid-September. Sometimes the ice
doesn't go out of the lakes until mid or even late June.
The days are very long during May, June, July. So if you want to cover a lot of
distance and yet not miss seeing any of the road, those would be good months to
travel up in this region (June 21 is the longest day of the year). By early
September the days are noticeably shorter.
Hunting season is around October or November on (I'm not a hunter so I'm not
sure of this).
Black flies
& Mosquitoes
are a major factor up here. Read about them
