Violent Thunderstorm Alert Sweeps Across Quebec
Hey everyone, here’s the latest weather update for Quebec. Right now, almost the entire province is under a violent thunderstorm watch, and it’s important to know what’s happening and what to expect.
A cold front moving across the region has triggered a line of thunderstorms that’s already swept through Montreal and Quebec City. Heavy rain, strong gusts of wind, and even hail have been reported in several areas. According to Environment Canada, the conditions are just right for dangerous storms that could produce very strong winds, large hail, and intense downpours. There’s even a small risk of tornadoes in some spots, so it’s not something to take lightly.
These storms are powered by a lot of moisture in the atmosphere combined with the instability created by the cold front. In fact, Wednesday is expected to be the most humid day of the week, which means there’s plenty of fuel for thunderstorms to grow quickly. Meteorologists are warning that localized flash flooding could happen in certain areas, but because the front is moving rapidly, heavy rainfall isn’t expected to linger for long in any single location.

If you’re planning outdoor activities, especially on lakes or rivers, be extra cautious. Sudden, violent gusts of wind can make water activities dangerous, and lightning strikes remain a real threat. Environment Canada reminds everyone that when thunder is heard, it’s safest to head indoors immediately.
On a brighter note, this cold front will finally bring some relief from the heatwave that’s been gripping southern Quebec for days. Temperatures are expected to cool down to more seasonal levels, with less humidity and cooler nights starting Thursday. Until then, daytime highs in the south could still reach around 30 degrees Celsius, with humidex values making it feel closer to 35 or 38. Unfortunately, this heat has already claimed lives in Montreal, and the ongoing drought has affected water levels and triggered watering bans in some municipalities.
As the day progresses, the thunderstorms are expected to move east, reaching cities like Sherbrooke, Saguenay, and eventually eastern Quebec by the evening. While the storms may be less organized in the eastern regions, strong gusts and small hail are still possible. For many, this weather will mark the end of an extended period of sweltering heat, and relief will be welcomed across the province.
So, whether you’re in Montreal, Quebec City, or farther east, keep an eye on weather alerts, stay indoors if thunderstorms hit, and be prepared for some sudden heavy rain and strong winds. The heatwave is finally on its way out, but the thunderstorms are here to make their presence known first.
