For many sectors of Quebec, temperatures felt 35 or even 40 are no longer so incredible, as if they had become the standard this summer! Well, this heavy element which contributes to making the warmth sometimes unbearable is (finally) chased from the beautiful province! Forecast.
Hello lightness
Thursday morning, the south of Quebec is a little less hot and has not risen sweaty! We can feel that the air is changing … The effects are already felt in northwestern Quebec, while alarm clock was made at temperatures of 6 ° and 7 ° … is that what awaits southern Quebec? Not at this point, but this respite from a high humidity rate will certainly make a good good! “This air spreads. He first hunts moisture and then temperatures go down a little, “explains Patrick Duplessis, meteorologist. Friday, humidity will therefore be low. This last day before the weekend plans to appear with a dry air as we have rarely seen recently.
Brief return
Technically, humidity has not said its last word; We are still in August! Moreover, it intends to resurface on Saturday with the passage of a system which will temporarily pump southern air, but it will be done practically in a snap of the fingers, the space of a day. “On Sunday, southern Quebec should return to a drier and fresh air too. Subsequently, the mercury descends more in the small twenty degrees, with practically no trace of humidity, ”explains Patrick Duplessis.
An exceptionally overwhelming season
In general, as of August 18, the province should enter a sequence near or under seasonal normal. The break with hot temperatures will be almost brutal! Indeed, the summer season has been quite hot and humid with many more days than normal with humidx clues of 35 and more and 40 and more. As of August 13, we are talking about the triple of experienced temperature days of 40 and more than normal, this year for Montreal!
The thing to remember for the next hours? Quebec will soon be entitled to a cooler air background, practically worthy of that of September. In short, in the medium term, no return of this heavy humidity is planned. To three, everyone can blow: one … two … three!
