Pistol Bay
Pistol Bay is a waterway in the Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, Canada. It is located in northwestern Hudson Bay between Igloo Point (30 km (19 mi) east) and Term Point (30 km (19 mi) south southeast).
The Pork Peninsula separates the bay and Corbett Inlet.
The community of Whale Cove lies 28 km (17 mi) south.
In 1815, Robert Kerr wrote that it was considered at one point as a possible gateway to the Northwest Passage.
Climate data is from Whale Cove, 28 km (17 mi) south.
The area features a cold tundra climate (“ET”), a polar climate sub-type under the Köppen climate classification; unlike most of the Kivalliq Region (most of which is usually a subarctic climate); with cold winters averaging around −23 °C (−9 °F), and cool, very wet and rainy summers averaging around 6.8 °C (44.2 °F); but temperatures of 25 °C (77 °F) or above are possible. Winters run from October/November until April/May with temperatures averaging between −14.6 and −30.6 °C (5.7 and −23.1 °F). Summers run from June to September, and average temperatures range from 3.5 to 9.8 °C (38.3 to 49.6 °F). Summers are usually cool, wet, and rainy, but can be warm, with a record high of 29.0 °C (84.2 °F). Summers typically last four months.
