Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServicePublic Schools Branch (PSB) serves Charlottetown and the surrounding area in Prince Edward Island, covering 56 schools. When winter weather threatens, the closure decision is made district-wide — which is why the forecast above is centred on the district itself rather than any single campus.
Prince Edward Island averages about 290 cm of snow per year. PEI schools close relatively often for winter storms given the island's exposure to Atlantic weather systems. The Public Schools Branch makes province-wide closure announcements.
We pull the live forecast for the district's own coordinates and score the factors that drive a closure call: snowfall accumulation and its timing relative to the morning bus run, ice and freezing rain, wind chill, and forecast confidence. The result is a probability for a full closure, a two-hour delay, and an early dismissal.
Districts announce closures between roughly 5 AM and 6 AM, working from conditions on the ground rather than the previous evening's forecast. Weather models are most reliable inside 24 hours, so checking after 6 PM the night before gives you the most accurate read.
This is an independent prediction, not an announcement. Always confirm a closure with Public Schools Branch (PSB) directly before acting on it.
