What is up with Montreal’s weather?
We’re on a rollercoaster of heat waves, severe weather warnings and temperatures swinging dramatically from one extreme to the next.
Heavy rain and lightning is forcing us inside for our downtown lunch breaks; extreme heat has us searching for the best air-conditioned restaurants and bars and flash floods are filling up our metro systems. And there are swarms of wasps literally everywhere.
Given all of this drama in the air, forecasters are still saying that Quebec will see a fall like never before–unprecedented weather for a province that has seen it all.
In a very unusual move for Mother Nature, fall in Quebec will be much warmer than usual (great for leaf-peeping, rooftop bars and apple-picking!) with abundant, sporadic rainfall and a sharp transition to winter in November.
Experts at MétéoMédia say that La Niña— a meteorological system over the Pacific Ocean that influences weather patterns—is back for the third year in a row (a rare “triple-dip” that hasn’t happened in 20 years) and could even mean more snow this winter.
We know winter is coming, but until then, head to your nearest beer garden, park or urban beach and soak up that sun.
