The climate of the Great Lakes is a humid, temperate type, similar to the climate of the Middle Baltic. The Great Lakes region is characterized by sharp changes in meteorological conditions. This is due to the proximity of areas as diverse as the cold Hudson Bay in the north and the very warm Gulf of Mexico in the south. The most variable season is winter, it is snowy, there is an active cyclone activity. Cyclones are also associated with frequent incursions of the Arctic air at this time, leading to a sharp cooling, while sometimes areas important for navigation are frozen in a few hours. In winter, ice first covers Lake Superior, then Huron and Michigan, and lastly Erie. The lakes are not completely frozen in ice, but navigation stops, becoming impossible from December to April.
