Quebec's fall weather forecast is looking balmy — until an abrupt shift ruins our lives

Quebec's weather is in for yet another warm fall, with above-normal temperatures expected through September and October, according to the latest fall forecast from The Weather Network.

If you've been loving the extended summer vibes, you're in luck — this year's fall weather forecast is set to feel like a bit more summer, perfect for outdoor activities like apple picking and hiking.

"Autumn 2024 will be Quebec's fourth consecutive warm fall," says TWN meteorologist Réjean Ouimet. "We're expecting mild and occasionally even hot weather until October."

This year's forecast promises beautiful sunny days and pleasantly warm temperatures across the province, making September and October the perfect time to get outside before winter hits. But don't get too comfortable — there's always a twist when it comes to Quebec weather.

Warm days, less humidity

One of the reasons this fall's warmth will feel so great is the lack of humidity. Instead of the sticky, muggy air we sometimes get from the Gulf of Mexico, this fall's warmth will be coming from the west — meaning more comfortable, dry heat.

You can expect this pattern to hold through much of September and October, with sunny days and near-normal precipitation levels for most regions.

But watch out for November!

While the early fall looks amazing, TWN is warning that November could bring a sudden drop in temperatures, marking an abrupt shift into winter. Whether that shift happens earlier in the month or holds off until later is still up in the air, but don't be surprised if temperatures suddenly dip below freezing, bringing snowstorms with them.

Tropical storm threats

Although the hurricane season has been relatively quiet so far, Quebec is still at risk for remnants of tropical storms as we move deeper into the fall. These storms could bring heavy rainfall to some parts of the province, especially in the south.

If one of these storms hits, it could dump a month's worth of rain in a single day, according to Ouimet — so stay alert for any weather warnings as the season progresses.

Overall: Warm and wonderful

This fall in Quebec is looking to start off warm, sunny and perfect for enjoying the outdoors. But as November approaches, be ready for a sudden switch to winterlike conditions. Whether we'll get hit with an early snowstorm or just a brisk drop in temperatures, it's always smart to keep an eye on the forecast and be prepared for anything.
