Canadian Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 10, 2026, and moms will be celebrated all weekend in Montreal with flowers, brunches, cups of tea, and walks in the forest.
To get everything organized—because normally, moms do it, but this weekend we’re going to do it—it’s important for us to check the weather. It’s still spring, and it’s still cold and dreary every other day in Montreal.
To make the most of the weekend, you just have to do the right activities at the right time.
Weather Forecast for Mother’s Day Weekend in Montreal
On Saturday, May 9, 2026, the weather will be nice. It will be between 7 and 16 degrees Celsius, and the weather will be sunny with a few clouds—the sky will be very blue in the morning, cloudier in the afternoon. In the evening, it will start to rain. For our Saturday plans, we recommend:
Saturday morning / a walk in the woods at a wildlife sanctuary or nature reserve with a (homemade) sandwich, or a stroll through the city, an exhibition, and coffee on a terrace
Saturday afternoon / visit to a tulip field and/or drinks in the sun
On Sunday, May 10, 2026, the weather won’t be great. About 10 mm of rain will fall on Montreal on Mother’s Day itself. Temperatures will range from 10 to 16 degrees, with a few drops in the morning and showers in the afternoon. For our Sunday plans, we recommend:
Sunday morning / a stroll through town and a special Mother’s Day brunch at a restaurant, a hotel, or at home
Sunday afternoon / a movie at the theater, a chill afternoon at home, or a long walk (because we’re not made of sugar)
May Weather Forecast
According to The Weather Channel, May 2026 is going to be a bit chaotic in Montreal. When it’s nice out, it’s goingto be really nice. And when it rains, the rain will be heavy and accompanied by strong winds.
The forecast for May: 16 days of sunshine and 11 days of rain. However, the threat of heavy rain will hang over the entire month, so we recommend keeping a pair of rubber boots and an umbrella at the bottom of your bag or in the backseat of the car.
Plus, the flowers will bloom thanks to the mix of sun and rain, so it’s all very positive.
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 by the end of May.
