Put those parkas back in the closet: Montreal could go an entire autumn without snow.
Montreal has only experienced a snowless autumn on record twice: In 1957 and 2006, when no measurable snowfall was recorded between September 1 to November 30.
Fast forward to 2024, when Montreal may witness the same unusual phenomenon.
There’s no time like the present to plan a late-fall hike, wander hat-less around the city’s Christmas markets or take in all the holiday lights after dark.
Plus all the free outdoor activities coming up, like the Santa Claus parade, the glow-in-the-dark holiday train stopping in Montreal and the Coca-Cola holiday caravan that's making it's way across the province.
When is it going to snow in Montreal?
But when it comes to skiing, skating and all the free winter outdoor programming that’s happening in Montreal this December, we may have to wait longer than usual.
According to The Weather Network, the long-term forecast suggests that conditions unfavourable for snow are likely to remain until the end of November, with high temperatures above the seasonal average expected for the week.
The last few days of November may see a drop in temperature, with daytime and evening temperatures approaching freezing.
And these conditions are expected to persist in southern Quebec until December, 2024.
Montreal may see some flurries, but without necessarily accumulating a snow cover (at least 2 cm of snow must be on the ground in order to be measured).
