==Climate== Moosonee has a [[humid continental climate]] ([[KΓΆppen climate classification]] ''Dfb'') with [[Subarctic climate|subarctic]] influences, which gives the town warm summers and cold winters that are sometimes severe. [[James Bay]] acts as a thermal reservoir to moderate spring and fall temperatures. Freeze-up on the Moose River normally occurs between late November and mid-December, with mean daily minimum January temperatures approximately {{convert|-25|C}}. Spring break-up, or spring thaw, usually occurs in April. Mean annual precipitation is {{cvt|703.6|mm}}, and mean annual snowfall is {{cvt|226.8|cm}}.
