Matunuck Weather & Climate

Block Island's weather is classified as oceanic. It's greatly influenced by the surrounding ocean and prevailing offshore winds. Summers are warm with average highs in the upper 70s. Autumn and winter remains warmer than the mainland, due to the oceanic influences. By the same token, spring and summer remain cooler than the mainland because the ocean stays cold during this time period. Block Island lies approximately 13 miles off the coast of Rhode Island in the Atlantic Ocean. It is part of the Outer Lands region, which is a coastal archipelago that resulted from the Wisconsonian Laurentide glacier retreat some 22,000 years ago.
