Now that Montrealers are settling into the official start of summer, Quebec can expect a “very warm” and dry summer, as per the weather agency’s long-term summer forecast.

A few heatwaves are also in the cards for Montreal and Quebec City along with the potential for stormy weather that will produce “a wide range of rainfall totals” with many areas seeing “above-normal precipitation.”

Overall, the forecast is calling for a “favourable summer season” for both agriculture and outdoor activities.

While one-day near-40-degree weather doesn’t count as a heatwave, you might want to consider some breathable and light clothes for any of your upcoming Canada Day celebrations in Montreal.
