If you were hoping that Montreal weather in May would make a smooth transition from spring showers to summer sunshine, you might want to adjust your expectations. The city is set for a rollercoaster ride of weather patterns this month, with forecasts swinging from cool drizzles to mild sunny days.
Downtown Montreal is buried under 31 cm of snow, a generous gift from a low-pressure system that has been busy over Southern Quebec since Wednesday evening. And it's not done yet. While Environment Canada officially lifted its snowfall warning as of 5:30 p.m. on April 4, more inclement weather is expected through the weekend.
It seems as if winter is in full force across Quebec as we await the biggest snowstorm of the season. The snowstorm is expected to impose several meteorological hazards, including snowfall and a possible freezing rain weather warning from Environment Canada.
Despite being hit with our fair share of snow over the weekend, Montreal is now anticipating even more snowfall and the possibility of freezing rain. In fact, Environment Canada has issued a winter storm warning for the Greater Montreal Area.
Montreal received its fair share of snowfall this past weekend but the snowfall isn't over yet. Despite Eastern Canada receiving a rather mild start to the winter, it appears as if the weather forecast is now catching up to the colder season.
