Montreal weather at a glance

• Montreal follows a strong **continental** pattern: long, cold, snowy winters and warm to hot summers where humidity can raise the heat index.
• In winter, wind and slippery sidewalks (snow/ice) often shape comfort as much as temperature.
• Spring is a transition: snowmelt, rain, and shifting wind can make days feel changeable.
• Summer can feel humid; shade and indoor breaks help on sticky days.
• Fall is often comfortable early on, then cools quickly toward November—layers help.
