Temperatures expected to dip below freezing for back-to-back nights in Montreal

Halloween weekend is just around the corner and it seems like Mother Nature is giving us a little spook, just in time for the weekend.

As the last few days of October whittle away, nighttime temperatures are going to dip to consecutive days of below freezing, according to Environment Canada.

Thursday night is forecasted to dip to -3ºC and Friday is slated to be a chilly -5ºC before ushering in the last day of the month on Saturday.

On the bright side, according to The Weather Network, Quebec is expected to have “extended periods of nice fall weather” during the autumn months as above-seasonal temperatures are expected to dominate.

”While a couple tastes of early winter can still be expected during the season, November is expected to be much milder than last year when winter-like weather dominated the month,” said TWN.

With winter around the corner, the weather agency says the weather pattern ‘La Niña‘ is “playing a key role in Canada’s winter,” with weather in the southeast expected to be “above normal” winter warmth.
