montreal spring forecast

The April 5 ice storm may have been winter's final outburst — at least we can hope. Environment Canada's Montreal weather forecast for the week of April 10 shows temperatures peaking at 20 C or above on three days in a row: Thursday, April 13, Friday, April 14, and Saturday, April 15 — just in time for the scheduled launch of the 2023 BIXI season.

Perhaps more exciting is that nighttime lows aren't forecast to dip below 6 C. On Thursday night, temperatures might remain in the double-digit positives.

March 2023 in Montreal, like just about every March, subjected us to some unpleasant weather phenomena, not least the sudden snowfall that temporarily coated the city in the third week of the month. Thankfully, April is going to be — wait, I'm getting something in my earpiece. Say that again? It's going to be... just as bad? And really weird? unpredictable and rainy?

Great.

Slush. The scent of long-buried dog poop. Mushy Tim Hortons litter. So much gravel. It's spring in Montreal, and the weather forecast is starting to reflect it. The seven-day outlook shows a volatile mix of conditions with temperatures finally — occasionally — shooting up, even pushing double-digits (both positive and negative. But we're focusing on the positive.).

The highest temperatures of the week are forecast for Wednesday, March 29, and Saturday, April 1: 8 C and 9 C, respectively, per Environment Canada. Those would be the warmest days of the year so far.

Hello March! It's safe to assume that most Montrealers are dreaming about sunshine and heat waves right now, but it looks like you'll have to be patient. According to The Weather Network’s 2023 spring forecast, Quebecers will have to contend with continued cold temps and "messy" winter storms in March and into April.

"An active storm track is expected across southern Quebec through at least April, as this region will be the battleground between colder weather to the north and a much milder pattern over the eastern U.S., which will attempt to surge north at times," Dr. Doug Gillham, a senior meteorologist for TWN, wrote in the site's seasonal forecast.

Getting tired of winter clothes, snow and freezing temperatures? You'll be happy to know that MétéoMédia's Quebec weather forecast for spring was updated on Saturday. Not only does this mean mild weather is likely just around the corner, but it also means it should stick around for the long haul sooner than expected.

MétéoMédia had originally predicted a cool Quebec spring in 2022 due to an atmospheric current that would bring "Arctic air descents" into the province. However, the weather agency says the Alaskan ridge has "receded," bringing the cold further west. As a result, it says the jet stream can allow more mild air to move up from the south into Quebec.

Canada's border rules are relaxing and the advisory against non-essential travel is over, so this might just be the time to flee to warmer locales. The Montreal weather forecast shows a roller coaster of a week ahead — possibly portending the arrival of spring, but annoying nonetheless.

Environment Canada says 5 to 10 centimetres will fall on the region on Tuesday as temps inch no higher than minus 5 degrees. With the wind chill, it'll feel about minus 12.
