Montreal has passed the point of no return. Days are longer. Temperatures are rising. Flowers are blooming and with them, the prospect of summer revelry bursts into vivid focus. But could a wet July dampen our outlook? That's what the Farmers' Almanac seems to suggest.
Montreal is in for four straight days of warm, sunny weather this week, according to Environment Canada. Whether it's a blip, a typical deviation in Montreal's capricious spring weather patterns, or a harbinger of an incoming climate apocalypse, Montrealers are sure to enjoy the first taste of summery temperatures.
The April 5 ice storm may have been winter's final outburst at least we can hope. Environment Canada's Montreal weather forecast for the week of April 10 shows temperatures peaking at 20 C or above on three days in a row: Thursday, April 13, Friday, April 14, and Saturday, April 15 just in time for the scheduled launch of the 2023 BIXI season.
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.
