Montreal's fall weather forecast is out and terrasse season might last longer than usual

The official arrival of fall is still a couple of weeks away, but Montreal's upcoming weather changes are already coming into focus. The Weather Network just released its 2025 fall forecast for different parts of Canada, and it hints at a season that could play out differently than what we're used to.

According to meteorologists, Quebec got an early taste of autumn during late August and early September, when temperatures dropped off sharply after weeks of summer heat. But for the core of the season — from mid-September through October — Montreal and much of the province are expected to stay on the mild side.

After a summer full of heat waves, sticky humidity, surprise downpours and even a few air quality alerts, you might be hoping September weather gives folks in Quebec a smooth landing into fall. The latest long-range forecast from the Farmers' Almanac says… well, not exactly.

The century-old publication — known for using a quirky mix of math and astronomy to make long-range predictions — is calling for a bit of everything next month.

Montreal's weather will feel like 41°C Tuesday — Here's when temps will finally cool down

Montreal is starting the week with a wall of heat, and it's only going to get hotter before it breaks. The city remains under a severe heat warning, with weather experts at Environment Canada calling for dangerously high temperatures through Tuesday.

Today's forecast is already pushing summer to the limit. Folks on the island can expect sunny skies, a high of 34°C and humidex values around 40°C. Overnight, it will only cool to about 22°C, meaning little relief before Tuesday's peak heat hits.

Montreal's under another extreme heat warning — Here's how long the sticky weather will last

If it feels like Montreal's had more sweaty weather stretches than dry ones this summer, you're not wrong. In fact, at this point, it's getting hard to keep track.

Now, Montreal is back under another extreme heat warning, with the latest alert issued early Thursday by Environment Canada. The forecast calls for daytime highs above 30°C and humidex values near 40, making it another tough stretch for anyone without AC. And don't expect much relief after sunset, as overnight lows will stay above 20°C, which is considered "uncomfortable" by the agency's standards.

Montreal's air is worse than anywhere in India or China today & there's a warning in effect

With an air quality rating of 153 as of 9:42 a.m., the city ranked higher in pollution than Jakarta, Kolkata, Shanghai, Dhaka and New Delhi — places far more commonly associated with smog and poor air conditions.

Montreal's August weather forecast calls for serious heat but don't ditch that umbrella yet

After a soggy and sticky start to summer, August in Montreal may finally bring the kind of summer weather many of us have been waiting for. But before you get too excited about endless blue skies and sunny stretches, you might want to brace for a few more storms.

According to long-range data from the 2024–2025 Farmers' Almanac, August will be warmer than usual in southern Quebec, with average daytime highs around 20 °C, which is about a degree above normal. That said, the month is also expected to bring above-average precipitation — around 120 mm total, or roughly 25 mm more than usual.

You might see rare northern lights over Montreal on Canada Day — Here's where & when to look

Folks in Montreal might want to wrap up Canada Day by looking up towards the heavens — and no, we're not just talking about fireworks.

A small but real chance of seeing the northern lights is in the forecast for Tuesday night, thanks to a geomagnetic storm that could push auroras as far south as southern Quebec. While most of the colourful action is expected in places like Edmonton, Winnipeg, Yellowknife, and Whitehorse, Montreal is sitting right near the edge of the visibility zone — meaning a faint green glow on the northern horizon isn't out of the question.
