This streak of good weather could become one of the best of the year

Sunbath

The last few days were spent under clouds, while certain areas such as Beauce and Charlevoix received almost sixty millimeters of rain. The rivers even overflowed. Starting Wednesday this will be a thing of the past for a long time: behind this strong system comes a good weather regime that will make people happy.

This is a favorable atmospheric context. A mass of warm air from western Canada makes its way to settle among our neighbors in Ontario, without leaving us behind. Although temperatures will not reach the expected maximums in Ontario, we will still be entitled to values ​​above seasonal norms, under the sign of the sun.

An air of deja vu?

This sequence rivals a series of beautiful days that took place very recently. From August 31 to September 6, the metropolitan region recorded no precipitation, for the first time in the summer season. A similar scenario is expected for the next few days, but with lower temperatures than during the last long stretch of good weather at the beginning of the month.

However, it is a true extension of summer. Two long periods of beautiful days are expected in September, something that has not happened in recent months.

Possible downsides on the horizon

Two systems threaten this streak of good weather. The first, the most imposing, would be the arrival of a subtropical storm that is forming in the Atlantic. This would travel up the east coast of the United States and ruin the weekend during the day on Sunday. If this storm turns east, the streak of good weather will not be interrupted. An intermediate trajectory would cause cloud overflow over the south of the province, but with dry weather.

The second, much smaller system would bring light precipitation as the front passes. The latter would occur in sectors further north, particularly in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean and Abitibi-Témiscamingue regions.
