As the sun shines outside your window, or you enjoy a lovely walk in the balmy 27-degree heat, this may not be the Montreal weather forecast update you hoped for. But please don't blame messenger!

The Quebec weather forecast warns of more tornadoes and 'violent' storms this summer

Late Monday afternoon, Quebec was hit with its first tornado of the year, damaging homes in the Montérégie region, just 70 kilometres west of Montreal. Meanwhile, Montreal was under a severe thunderstorm watch, as strong winds gusted and rain poured, ultimately leaving tens of thousands of people without power.

Unfortunately, according to the Quebec forecast, this isn't the last we'll see of this sort of weather in the next few months — and it's all thanks to two climate patterns called El Niño and La Niña. If you're reading this El Niño and La Niña, that "thanks" was sarcastic.

A Polar Vortex Is Expected To Hit Eastern Canada & Temps Could Drop To -20 C

Eastern Canada is bracing for some of the coldest air of the season, as a wave of Arctic chill is set to plunge temperatures from Ontario to Nova Scotia this week, including Southern Quebec. The frosty grip, extending all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico, follows a blizzard in far Northern Canada, where Nunavut saw temperatures plummet into the -40s.

The frigid air mass is part of a polar vortex, a phenomenon that intensifies in winter, wrapping around the Arctic and occasionally sending shivers down to lower latitudes. According to The Weather Network, instability is resulting in a pronounced dip — or 'trough' — out of the Arctic, signalling a brief but intense cold spell for millions of Canadians.

Canada’s Weather Forecast Shows A Polar Vortex — Snow & Cold Temps Could Affect Thanksgiving

While Eastern Canada is experiencing some warmer-than-usual days, the hot temps aren't going to last for much longer. In fact, Quebec and Ontario are expected to see a sudden drop in temperatures coming next week as a polar vortex makes its way across Canada.

"If this was January, temperatures below minus 20°C would be barrelling towards Ontario and Quebec," the Weather Network said in a recent report touching on an incoming bout of cold weather. Luckily for us, it's still only October, so the polar vortex isn't going to be sending frigid conditions our way just yet. Nevertheless, a "surprisingly strong temperature plunge" is set to take place this long weekend.
