Very occasionally it'll hit 34°, so be sure to wear that sunblock, too. Winter temperatures drop down to -3°C, so now you'll need to wrap up warm and be prepared for some windy Nor'easters. Roads can be slippy as well, so be careful. You’ll find lower rates on Charlottetown vacation rentals during the spring and summer, when the climate is cooler but still pleasant.
