The grayness of autumn will have to wait, because summer has not said its last word and the good weather could be present for several more weeks.
“This year, the context is favorable to good weather and heat, especially for September and October,” said André Monette, head of the meteorology department at Météomédia.
“Everywhere in Quebec, from Abitibi to Gaspésie, then from Montreal to northern Quebec, mild temperatures are expected,” added Mr. Monette.
The weather should favor outdoor activities such as apple or pumpkin picking this fall, but also walks in the forest, because the colors of the trees could be particularly beautiful.
“There can be, for sure, times when the temperatures drop, but in general it’s comfortable for the fall, it’s going to be ideal for the color season. It is likely to last a little longer, we risk having very beautiful colors”, indicated the meteorologist, specifying that “even if there was a well-watered summer, there was no stress. water”, which promotes healthy trees and bright colors.
The second half of autumn, in November and December, could be punctuated by a few large systems that would bring good amounts of rain, however, warns Météomédia.
“The fall could be rainy, but later in the season,” said André Monette.
