Slush. The scent of long-buried dog poop. Mushy Tim Hortons litter. So much gravel. It's spring in Montreal, and the weather forecast is starting to reflect it. The seven-day outlook shows a volatile mix of conditions with temperatures finally occasionally shooting up, even pushing double-digits (both positive and negative. But we're focusing on the positive.).
2023 will start off wet and unseasonably warm, according to Environment Canada. Whether it's mere happenstance, a harbinger of impending climate doom or a portent of a gloomy twelve months ahead, the New Year's Day Montreal weather likely won't help residents' anxiousness about 2023. A recent Leger survey revealed that only 34% of Quebecers think it will be better than 2022.
You can expect high temperatures above seasonal standards in the coming days. You will probably feel very sweaty until Thursday, July 21, with Tuesday reaching a forecasted high of 29 degrees C, as reported by The Weather Network.
In typical southern Quebec fashion, it looks like we're skipping most of spring and heading right into summer. The Montreal weather forecast from Environment Canada shows days with temperatures in the mid-20s next week.
