Grand Étang is a small community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in Inverness County on Cape Breton Island. Grand Étang is noted for its periodic high wind events called Les Suêtes. It is also the location of Nova Scotia's first wind energy project, which was established in 2002.

Climate

In August 2020, Grand Étang had four days where the temperature did not fall below 20.2 Celsius. On August 12, 2020, the overnight low was 23.3 Celsius. In 2018, the average daily temperature for August was 21.2 Celsius. Theoretically, in order to qualify for a humid subtropical climate (Cfa), Grand Étang would need an average daily temperature of 22 Celsius or higher in the warmest month (August) averaged over a 30-year period, and the average temperature in the coldest month would have to be -3 or warmer. Many areas of Nova Scotia are predicted to transition to a humid subtropical climate for the 30-year period of 2071-2100.

Climate data start in 1994 and 1995.
