new found land coast experience fogs at the sea give reason

Answer 1

Newfoundland has a maritime climate. This means generally that summers are shorter and colder than in a continental climate. The glacial Labrador Current holds July average temperatures in coastal areas around 14°C, but inland averages may climb over 16°C. Occasionally, maximum temperatures can even rise to as high as 30°C. Sunny summer days in Newfoundland, however, are most delightful. 
The total number of hours of bright sunshine for Newfoundland is usually less than 1600 hours. The summer months are the sunniest, with an average of 187 hours of sunshine a month, about 42% of the total possible. The least sunshine is experienced in December, when the average daily duration is about 2 hours. 

The waters off the Avalon Peninsula and over the Grand Banks are among the foggiest in the world. The fogs develop when warm, humid air from the south strikes the cold waters of the Labrador Current. These fogs may occur in all seasons, but, on average, they are most frequent in the spring and early summer when the contrast between sea and air temperatures is greatest. 

Surprisingly, the fogs are often accompanied by strong winds. Normally, winds can be expected to disperse fog, but here the fog is frequently so dense and widespread that the winds have little clearing effect.

Answer 2

Newfoundland is not noted for its sunshine. The total number of hours of bright sunshine for the island is usually less than 1600 hours a year, which is below Summerside's average of 1959 hours, Calgary's 2314 hours, and the Canadian average of 1925 hours. The summer months are the sunniest, with an average of 187 hours of sunshine a month, about 42% of the total possible
