Yes or no jacket for Nova Scotia needed for next week?

High is predicted to be 72... Low 64

Thank you:)

I would always take at least a light jacket...better to have it etc. etc.

Depends on what you are used to. Locals probably won't be wearing jackets, folks from Arizona likely would.

Two travel rules for NE (and the Maritimes):

1. Layers

2. Be prepared for anything

I take a jacket no matter where I'm traveling, even to the Caribbean, a light windbreaker, handy for early a.m. walkx on the promenade deck. I live where it is cold, 50s is a short sleeve tee for locals, winter jacket for some visitors.

The only reason you would need a jacket in the Maritime in July and August would be for rain. Typically temperatures will be in the 80s for sure. For the last few weeks we've been in the mid to high 90s.

It's always a good idea to bring a jacket. We cruised to Nova Scotia last July and it was in the 50's. Similarly New Brunswick two weeks ago was very chilly too.

It's not uncommon for the weather to be a bit cooler up North. It often mirrors the North East U.S but, best to bring a jacket just in case.

Halifax resident and I will not be needing a jacket unless it rains a lot. Humidity is a big factor, the foretasted fells like for the coming week is 13°-16°F higher than the base temperature. The Tuesday feels like high is showing at 97°.

Do bring a rain jacket.

I don't know what you call chilly but we have heat warnings in New Brunswick for the better part of 3 or 4 weeks. Temperatures have been in the 90s almost everyday.
