Montreal residents can expect a classic winter day this Saturday, December 27, 2025, with a brief bout of snow giving way to sunshine, though biting wind chills will demand bundling up.
Morning Flurries, Afternoon Sunshine
According to the latest forecast from Environment Canada, a few lingering flurries are expected to end during the Saturday morning hours. The skies will then clear, offering Montrealers some welcome winter sunshine for the latter part of the day.
The daytime high temperature is projected to reach minus 9 degrees Celsius. However, the wind will make it feel significantly colder throughout the day. The agency warns of a morning wind chill making it feel like minus 22, moderating slightly to a feeling of minus 16 in the afternoon.
Clear and Cold Overnight
The clear conditions will persist into Saturday night. With the skies staying cloudless, temperatures will drop to a low of minus 16 degrees Celsius. This crisp, cold night is typical for late December in the region.
Planning Your Saturday
While the clearing skies are good news for visibility and outdoor activities later in the day, the combination of cold temperatures and strong winds necessitates proper winter attire. The extreme wind chill values in the morning pose a risk of frostbite on exposed skin in a matter of minutes.
Residents planning to be outdoors are advised to dress in layers, cover all exposed skin, and be aware of the heightened cold stress, especially during the morning hours. The forecast indicates a swift transition from active flurries to calm, clear, and very cold conditions, marking a dynamic but manageable winter day for the city.
