WEEKLY FORECASTS

WINTER 2019–2020

Weak El Niño conditions should

persist through the early part of

winter, causing a slight delay with

the start of wintry conditions.

Although the early part of

December should bring some

mixed precipitation systems due to

mild westerlies, we should see this

pattern change mid-December with

much colder air moving in.

SUMMER 2020

There should be two significant

heat waves between early July

through to the first week of

August. Expect some severe

weather over central and southern

Quebec during the first three

weeks of July and the last two

weeks of August. Some storms

could have damaging straight-line

winds or possible tornadoes.

SPRING 2020

Spring conditions will likely be slow

in coming (late April). Temperatures

will only start to moderate into the

last week of April and early May. The

season will be wetter than normal

from mid-March to late April, with

another bout of spring f looding

likely. We should see a pattern

change mid-May, with warmer and

drier air moving in well into summer.

FALL 2020

Autumn will begin warm but

then will become seasonable

mid-October. November should be

colder than normal, thus setting

up the proper conditions for some

storms mixing with wet snow late

in the month. The season will be

wetter than normal overall, with a

few brief dry periods through late

October and early November.
