The weather promises to be more comfortable, but unstable in Quebec for the summer season, which is on its way with more transitions from heat to coolness due to the return ofEl-Nino This year.
MétéoMédia anticipates heat waves, but these will be more discreet, which will limit the risk of drought in southern Quebec and southern Ontario, where the storm season is to be watched.
Temperatures expected during the summer in Quebec will be close to normal for the season, except for the northwestern sectors of the province, where temperatures are expected to be below normal for the season.

As for precipitation, it will be close to normal for the season everywhere in Quebec, except for the southeastern sectors, where it is likely to be more sustained, according to MétéoMédia forecasts.
“Summer 2023 will mark the end of a cycle with temperatures that will be closer to normal for Quebec, after five consecutive very hot summers,” said André Monette, head of meteorology at MétéoMédia, in a press release.
But that “does not mean that the east of the country will not experience heat waves, only that they will prove to be less intense and less frequent”, tried to qualify Mr. Monette
“While the west of the country has already been experiencing very dry and hot weather for a few weeks, the heat has been rather discreet in Ontario and Quebec,” noted Chris Scott, MeteoMedia chief meteorologist, anticipating the same scenario with the return ofEl-Nino.
