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.

2023 will start off wet and unseasonably warm, according to Environment Canada. Whether it's mere happenstance, a harbinger of impending climate doom or a portent of a gloomy twelve months ahead, the New Year's Day Montreal weather likely won't help residents' anxiousness about 2023. A recent Leger survey revealed that only 34% of Quebecers think it will be better than 2022.

It looks so far like Quebecers are in for a full week of positive daytime temperatures. And we're mostly not talking about temps hovering around the freezing point. Environment Canada forecasts a high of 8 C on both Friday, December 30, and Saturday, December 31, and 5 C on Sunday, January 1, 2023.

You can expect high temperatures above seasonal standards in the coming days. You will probably feel very sweaty until Thursday, July 21, with Tuesday reaching a forecasted high of 29 degrees C, as reported by The Weather Network.

The risk of thunderstorms on Wednesday and Thursday will make temperatures feel like a burning hot 38 and 37. This weekend, temperatures will drop again, moving closer to seasonal standards.

In typical southern Quebec fashion, it looks like we're skipping most of spring and heading right into summer. The Montreal weather forecast from Environment Canada shows days with temperatures peaking in the mid-20s next week.

After three weeks of fluctuating spring temperatures and precipitation, we're in for six straight days of sunny skies and relatively stable temps, if the forecast holds.

The weather in January has been, well, a lot. Despite less-than-average snowfall, Montreal hit record-breaking low, low temperatures, with added wind-chill to boot. This was caused by the jet stream, which brought cold air to most of Eastern Canada.

According to Environment Canada meteorologist André Cantin, we hit record-breaking lows, "not for the whole month — for some days during the month. It's not the coldest January [on record]. We can qualify this January of 2022 as very cold compared to normal but it's not something we've never seen." That said, it was the coldest January in many years: "We have to go back to 2004 for a January similar to the one that we had this year."
