For the record, Titanic sunk a little fraction east of this by a few miles but I've taken the closest measurement spot!
This is based upon Ventusky's satellite readings at 1 pm local time through certain parts of 2017 and has let me to estimate what Titanic's sinking place would've been like had it been a small island. Crazy seasonal lag in spring due to icy water coming down from north, the northerlies always being a threat in summer, but at the same time tropical water transitioning up there sometimes leading to warm and comfy days. Last summer the water temp came close to reach 25°C once, which certainly would've pushed a small island above Tristan da Cunha's all-time record of 24.4°C only then, and that's just one August. Unlike Sable Island though, there's very little influence of Atlantic Canada in terms of persistent summer warmth, here, highs can fall as low as 14-15°C in August, but then lows are still controlled at 13°C.
So here it is! Sunshine hours and rainfall are influenced by similar latitudes in Eastern North America.
I rate this one a C- due to the absence of summer heat and long and quite nasty winters with lots of gales and heavy winds. Also, the abundance of thunderstorms this place will experience would be very tiring in the long run.
