Climate Rhode Island enjoys a temperate climate, allowing for full manifestation of the four seasons. Rhode Island has no measurable "rainy" or "dry" season; precipitation falls fairly evenly throughout the year. The first measurable snowfall of winter usually comes toward the end of November. Beginning in December and lasting through mid-March, freezing temperatures are common daily. The month of greatest snowfall is February, with January and March close behind. It is unusual, however, for the ground to remain covered with snow for a long period of time. Foreign Language Services Several Rhode Island companies and organizations offer translation and interpreting services, covering virtually all foreign languages. Visitors can refer to the Verizon Super Pages directory upon arrival or call the Rhode Island Tourism Division at (401) 222-2601 for referral. Currency ExchangeMost currencies can be exchanged at full-service banks throughout the state. Banking hours are generally 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. For foreign currency exchange, it is advisable to bring a passport. While Canadian currency is readily available at local banks, other international currency can take time and may require several days notice. Rhode Island Helpful Telephone Numbers
