Unseasonal Warmth Brings Slushy Conditions to Montreal
Residents of Montreal are experiencing an unusual weather pattern this November, with daytime temperatures expected to remain firmly above the freezing mark until at least Friday. The week began with periods of light snow Monday morning, creating the perfect base ingredient for what forecasters are describing as a week dominated by slushy conditions.
Detailed Temperature Forecast
Monday's weather featured a high of 3 degrees Celsius with an overnight low of plus-1 degree Celsius. Tuesday brings a welcome break with some sunshine expected and temperatures climbing to a forecast high of 7 degrees Celsius. However, the reprieve will be short-lived as showers are predicted for Tuesday overnight.
The variable conditions continue into midweek, with the possibility of snow returning Wednesday night and potential flurries on Thursday. This rollercoaster of precipitation types is characteristic of temperatures hovering around the freezing point, creating the slushy conditions that Montrealers are currently navigating.
Seasonal Contrast Amid Unusual Warmth
The unseasonably warm weather presents a stark contrast to the holiday season atmosphere that typically graces Montreal in late November. Just days earlier on November 22, 2025, the city celebrated the Santa Claus Parade in downtown Montreal, where crowds lining René-Lévesque Blvd. were entertained by festive performances including a clown on a unicycle.
For those struggling to get into the holiday spirit amid the slushy conditions, media outlets have suggested checking out photo galleries from last weekend's Santa Parade to help capture some seasonal cheer. The unusual weather pattern serves as a reminder of Montreal's characteristically variable late-autumn conditions, where winter's arrival can often be delayed by periods of unexpected warmth.
Meteorologists continue to monitor the situation, advising residents to prepare for changing conditions throughout the week and to exercise caution when navigating the slush-covered streets and sidewalks.
