According to the Almanac, which builds its long-range predictions using historical weather data, solar patterns, and atmospheric trends, Quebec will swing between mild days and sudden winter blasts all month. The first half of November should bring heavy rain and chilly winds, followed by the season's first wet snow — especially in the Laurentians and higher parts of southern Quebec.
