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.
After a surprise mid-week snow, Montreal’s weather is continuing its unpredictable streak. On Saturday, the city will see a dramatic shift from clear, sunny skies to a week filled with clouds and rain, according to Environment Canada. While the temperatures suggest an early taste of summer, the overcast conditions might just dampen spirits.
Montreal weather is known for its unpredictability, but the current forecast suggests a rare and prolonged period of heavy rain and potential flooding. The city, usually adept at handling swift weather changes, now faces a sustained downpour that may challenge even the most weather-hardened residents.
Quebec has decided it's not quite done with summer. As chilly winds begin to sweep other parts of the country, parts of the province are refusing to let go of warm temperatures.
Environment Canada says rainfall in Montreal will be heavy at times, noting downpours have the potential to cause flash floods and water accumulation on roads.
