Environment Canada has issued a freezing rain warning for a huge swath of Ontario and southern Quebec stretching from Lake Superior to the Chaudière-Appalaches and Estrie regions. Between Outaouais, the Laurentides, Montreal and Montérégie, the forecast calls for between 1 and 2 centimetres of "freezing precipitation" Wednesday.
March in Montreal subjected us to some unpleasant weather phenomena, not least the sudden snowfall that temporarily coated the city in the third week of the month. Thankfully, April is going to be wait, I'm getting something in my earpiece. Say that again? It's going to be. just as bad? And really weird? unpredictable and rainy? Great.
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.).
Montreal weather is certainly unpredictable at times. I mean.remember when it snowed in mid-April? How could you forget? Well, it seems as if there's going to be yet another heavy swing in temperature in the 514. Despite hot and humid days paying Montreal a visit this week, it seems as if the heat isn't planning on staying around for too long. The Weather Network is calling for some sunny and rainy days ahead, but the temperatures will have it feeling like it's July in Montreal.
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.
