Montreal Climate

A City of Extremes!

Be prepared to fall in love with this city four times every year!

Montreal boasts four very distinct seasons, each bringing about its own charm for locals and visitors alike!

SUMMER tends to be hot, with temperatures hovering between 25 and 30 degrees from June to August.  Don't miss out on the plethora of festivals, such as the Jazz Festival, Comedy Festival, francopholies and more!

FALL is the most spectacular season, with the foliage across Quebec adopting stunning yellow, red and orange colours!  Don't miss out on the opportunity to hike Mt. Royal and experience the colours for yourself in early-October!

WINTER means colder temperatures, so make sure to dress warmly¹! With the proper layers, don't miss out on fun winter activities such as skiing, snowboarding and skating!

¹ Recommendation: Unless your country regularly experiences sub-zero temperatures, we recommend your purchase Winter clothing once in Canada to be sure your layers are adequate!

SPRING brings about sun, rain, light and positive energy, as Montrealers start looking forward to another exciting summer!
