What Happened
Météo Media has reported that winter is not yet over for much of eastern Canada, forecasting a snowy or rainy spring. Meteorologist André Monette indicated that the transition from winter to summer will be “long” and “winding” for regions like Quebec and Ontario.
Why It Matters
The prediction highlights the potential for continued snowfall in March and April, with an expected increase in precipitation levels due to a cold anomaly in the Canadian Prairies and warmer conditions in the southern United States. This unusual weather pattern may lead to more precipitation than normal across the Great Lakes basin, particularly affecting Quebec.
What’s Next
As the spring season progresses, Météo Media warns of possible snowstorms in the early part of spring. The forecast suggests that precipitation levels will be above normal in most areas of Quebec, except for the northern and eastern parts of the province, which are expected to remain near normal. Residents are advised to monitor the situation closely, as the likelihood of flooding increases with the anticipated heavy rainfall.
