Montreal weather is taking us on a rollercoaster ride from frost to May temps by the weekend

If you've been feeling the chill of Montreal weather recently, brace yourself — tonight is when winter truly starts to rear its ugly head. But don’t fret just yet, because this weekend promises a return to May-like conditions.

Seriously, which is the better rollercoaster ride: La Ronde's Goliath or the weather in Quebec this time of year? It's honestly hard to say.

According to Environment Canada, temperatures are set to drop from a daytime high of 10 C on Wednesday to a chilly zero degrees overnight. The federal department has also issued a "frost advisory" for the Montreal Island area.

"Frost may damage some crops overnight Wednesday night. Cover up plants, especially those in frost-prone areas. Take preventative measures to protect frost-sensitive plants and trees," reads Environment Canada's notice.

But before you panic about an impending cold snap, there's good news! The weather is expected to take a turn for the better as the week progresses.

Starting Thursday, temperatures will begin to climb, with a high of 13 C predicted. By Friday, the mercury will reach 15 C, followed by a pleasant 18 C on Saturday. And for those of you craving warm, sunny days, Sunday will see a high of 20 C. This is comparable to May when the average high in Montreal is 19.4 C.

Lows throughout the rest of the week are expected to range from 1 C to 9 C.

Best of all? The forecast calls for clear skies and sunshine throughout the weekend — so get ready to soak up some rays!

Winter may be knocking on our door, but it looks like there's some time left before it gets here.
