Moncton sits in Atlantic Canada, where a maritime climate brings year-round precipitation and regular exposure to nor’easters and the remnants of Atlantic hurricanes moving up the coast.
In New Brunswick near the Bay of Fundy, the city’s flood risk includes both rainfall and the bay’s exceptionally large tidal range. Because a tropical system’s remnants can still carry significant rainfall and wind well after weakening from hurricane strength, as seen when Hurricane Fiona struck the region in 2022, radar tracking remains important here even outside the traditional hurricane season.
