quebec weather

As Montreal heads into a polar vortex that will make it feel like we're living in a freezer for the better part of the next week, it's hard to imagine milder weather. But, just like every year, spring will eventually come. The question is: what will it look like?

The 2026 Old Farmer's Almanac Canadian Edition just released its spring forecast, and unfortunately for Quebecers hoping for an early thaw, the news isn't great.

Montreal's sunny fall streak isn't sticking around for much longer. The Farmer's Almanac just released its November 2025 outlook, and it's not exactly sweater-weather cozy. Instead, the forecast calls for weeks of cold rain, slush, and early snow that'll make you want to stay inside and hibernate.

According to the Almanac, which builds its long-range predictions using historical weather data, solar patterns, and atmospheric trends, Quebec will swing between mild days and sudden winter blasts all month. The first half of November should bring heavy rain and chilly winds, followed by the season's first wet snow — especially in the Laurentians and higher parts of southern Quebec.

It may feel like fall weather is just getting started, but winter is already lurking around the corner. The Farmers' Almanac has released its latest long-range outlook for Quebec, and it's hinting that snow could arrive sooner than many people expect.

According to the forecast, the province could see a stretch of rain, sleet and wet snow in early November, particularly in the Laurentides. A few days later, areas farther north may be dealing with more traditional snowfall between November 8 and 11.
