This morning in Montreal, there are bare feet in slightly dusty sandals, shorts pulled out of the closets for the first time, and colorful summer dresses that reflect the myriad hues of the first spring flowers in the flower beds.
The trees, which looked dead, are slowly turning green with small buds, and patios are being set up on the sidewalks of Montreal. The weather is nice and warm. Will it last?
A taste of summer
This morning, Monday, April 27, 2026, it’s 17 degrees Celsius, and this afternoon it will be 21 degrees Celsius.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, April 28, 2026, the high will be 22 degrees— perfect weather for grabbing a coffee on a terrace.
Unfortunately, the rest of the week will be rainy and a bit cooler, with highs of 18 degrees, 10 degrees, 7 degrees… and the weather in Montreal will be miserable until next Tuesday (May 6, 2026).
But, after all, it’s not that bad, is it? In any case, we should enjoy these two warm days before spring turns cool and wet again.
Weather forecast for May 2026 in Montreal
In May, it will truly be spring—in May, do as you please—and the weather will feel more like spring after a rather exhausting winter-spring swing. But spring in Quebec isn’t like spring in the English countryside or spring in the South, which smells of flowers warmed by the sun. The weather will be cool, and the flowers will bloom on sunny days.
According to The Weather Channel, May 2026 is going to be a bit chaotic in Montreal. When the weather is nice, it’s goingto be really nice. And when it rains, the rain will be heavy and accompanied by strong winds.
Temperatures will rise by about 10 degrees Celsius during the month of May, going from 8 degrees at the end of April to highs of 19 degrees at the end of May.
