The long Easter weekend brought milder temperatures, a wind that’s a little less icy in our hair, and a few crocuses (a miracle!) in the dirty flower beds of the small residential streets on the Plateau. There were a few snowflakes, too, and the wind is whipping up thousands of tiny pebbles and blowing them in our faces.
The weather forecast for the rest of April 2026, which had been rather snowy, is now much milder. But, unfortunately, it’s going to rain. Fortunately, rain can be very romantic, especially in the spring.

That means it’s time to start planting, to pack a scarf and an umbrella in our bag when we go out for a walk, and to look for the first buds on the trees.
Weather forecast for April 2026 in Montreal
In a few figures, April 2026 will look like this:
- 11 days of snow
- 17 days of rain
- 2 days without precipitation (dry)
- 70% average humidity
- temperatures between 3 and 11 degrees Celsius
And what about the weather forecast for spring?
According to the Almanac, April and May will be cooler and wetter than usual. At first glance, that sounds like bad news—but it isn’t necessarily a negative forecast.
Yes, there will be more precipitation than in other years. But given that, according to our March forecast, spring will arrive quickly, some good rain (and even a few storms) will be beneficial for the growth of flowers and fruit as summer approaches.
In May, the weather will be unstable and muggy, with scattered thunderstorms expected.
