Mystic Vacation Rentals, Hotels, Weather, Map and Attractions

Mystic is a quintessential New England village located in New London County in southeast Connecticut. As of the 2010 census, the population was 4,205. Mystic is not a legally recognized municipality in the state of Connecticut, but is part of the town towns of Groton and Stonington. However, the village of Mystic is quite well known as a major tourist destination and a leading historical seaport town. The nation's largest maritime museum is located here; the Mystic Seaport. The story of Mystic's historic nautical connection is told at the museum and it also features a number of well-preserved sailing ships, including the 1841 whaleship Charles W. Morgan, which is the oldest merchant vessel in the nation. The village is also home to the Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration. Mystic sits along the Mystic River, which flows into the Long Island Sound. The Mystic River Bascule Bridge crosses the river in the center of the village. On either side of the bridge is the business district and many restaurants and pubs. River cruises are available on a traditional sailing ship called the Argia and steamboat cruises are available on the steamer Sabino. In pop culture, the village of Mystic is well-known for the 1988 film "Mystic Pizza." Steven Spielberg also shot various scenes for his movie "Amistad" at Mystic Seaport. The village of Mystic has three historic districts: the Mystic Bridge Historic District, the Rossie Velvet Mill Historic District and the Mystic River Historic District.

Mystic Weather & Climate

Southeast Connecticut lies within the transition zone of humid subtropical and a humid continental. Although the seasonal extremes are slightly moderated by Long Island Sound, the primary weather pattern flow is offshore, from the colder landmasses to the north and west. A large number of air-mass fronts pass over this region during a year: cold, dry air pouring down from sub arctic North America, warm, moist air streaming up from the Gulf of Mexico, and cool, damp air moving in from the North Atlantic. Thunderstorms occur on an average of 20 to 30 days per year. Aside from infrequent tornadoes and hurricanes, coastal storms or "northeasters" are the most serious weather hazard in Connecticut. They generate very strong winds and heavy rain and produce the greatest snowstorms in the winter.
