What Happened
MétéoMédia has reported that the transition from winter to summer will be “long” and “winding” for regions in Quebec and Ontario. Meteorologist André Monette indicated that winter is not over yet, predicting snowy or rainy conditions for much of eastern Canada in the coming weeks. The forecast suggests that there will still be opportunities for snowfall in March and April, as the effects of La Niña dissipate and El Niño is expected to return during the summer of 2026.
Why It Matters
This prolonged winter weather could impact various sectors, including agriculture, transportation, and tourism, as residents and businesses prepare for an extended cold season. The forecast highlights the unpredictability of seasonal weather patterns, which can have significant implications for planning and resource allocation.
What’s Next
As the weather continues to fluctuate, residents in affected regions should stay informed about upcoming forecasts and prepare for potential weather-related disruptions. MétéoMédia will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates as the transition to summer progresses.
