While most folks around Quebec prepare for a late-March snowstorm, it's easy to forget that warm weather is right around the corner. In fact, warm may be an understatement.
Quebecers might want to get their ACs ready because the Farmers' Almanac is predicting a seriously hot summer for the province in 2025.
On Wednesday, the Farmers' Almanac’s 2025 summer weather forecast for Canada and the United States dropped. Released well before the official start of summer on June 20, the forecast is based on its traditional methodology of analyzing factors like solar activity, lunar cycles, and historical weather patterns. And according to them, it's going to be a scorcher.
In their own words, the Farmers' Almanac warns that "summer heat will arrive in full force by July with much of the nation sweltering with more than above-average temperatures." They also note that "some long-standing high temperature records may be broken."
Here's what we can expect in Quebec.
Temperatures across Quebec are expected to be "broiling", with heat waves likely to push the mercury higher than usual. While most of Canada will be sweating it out with us, Quebec's heat could be especially intense, though rainfall levels are expected to remain near-normal.
For comparison, last summer in Montreal saw the following average temperatures during warmer months
- May: 18.9°C (day), 13.9°C (night)
- June: 23.9°C (day), 17.8°C (night)
- July: 26.1°C (day), 21.1°C (night)
- August: 23.9°C (day), 18.9°C (night)
- September: 22.2°C (day), 16.1°C (night)
The heat isn't just confined to la belle province, though. Looking at the rest of the country, the Prairies are predicted to experience "scorching" temperatures, while Ontario is in for a "sultry" and thunder-filled summer. Over in B.C., the forecast calls for warm and dry conditions, which have the potential to lead to widespread wildfires. Finally, Atlantic Canada is expected to see very warm temperatures with normal rainfall, but the Farmers' Almanac warns of a hurricane threat in early September, particularly during the second week.
