Students and winter take a break in Quebec. Forecast.

Spring break

The winter should rank among the mildest in history in several regions of Quebec. This mild trend should continue over the next two weeks. Positive temperature anomalies are anticipated, which means a mercury above normal. In fact, it could reach 15°C at times in the south of the province. So winter and the student population are taking a break this year.

“In terms of the weather, we can expect anything during the period which characterizes the spring break in Quebec,” explains Réjean Ouimet, meteorologist. The beginning of March is a pivotal period of the season, which can give rise to radical changes. We can witness the arrival of an early spring, with mildness and sunshine, or the continuation of winter, with cold temperatures and storms. »

Two beautiful weeks

The spring break is spread over two weeks in Quebec. During this period, what should you expect? If you were planning outdoor activities such as skiing, skating or sliding, you will need to choose your region accordingly. The mild temperatures will likely overcome the snow cover in several areas. Additionally, rain could fall around the middle of next week. Besides, there is good spring skiing in store north of Montreal.

Early spring

These early spring conditions could mean changing spring break plans. To a certain extent, the mildness would be strong enough for weather worthy of early April. In fact, this wave of mildness punctuated by a brief drop in the mercury should give the final blow to the snow on the ground in several regions of Quebec. However, it should be noted that late broadsides are still possible for several weeks, even in the south of the province.

“The strong trend of recent weeks will continue to bridge the gap towards the beginning of March,” estimates Réjean Ouimet. Winter therefore continues its let-up. Post-winter conditions are on the menu for this first week of spring break. »
