The Coast Guard operates all seasons of the year and through all kinds of weather. Even when the waters are covered with seasonal ice, the Coast Guard sends out its domestic icebreaker fleet, and spring and summer are particularly busy seasons due to the rise in recreational boating.
Bad weather can lead to boating hazards, which can in turn lead to boating accidents. The Coast Guard must be prepared to face these weather hazards when performing search and rescues. Storms, fog, excessive heat and humidity, strong winds and freezing temperatures are examples of the kinds of weather conditions Coast Guard officers have to endure in order to locate and rescue boating accident victims in time.
