Montreal Braces for Weeks of Heavy Rain: What It Means for Families

It's raining cats and dogs in Montreal, and it looks like the deluge is here to stay. Environment Canada has issued a yellow rainfall warning for the area, with up to 60 millimeters of rain expected by the end of the week. This week isn't looking much better, with more rain on the horizon and colder temperatures creeping in.

The heavy rain is expected to start Tuesday and continue through the week, with visibility dropping and potential pooling on roads. The weather forecast for the rest of the week suggests a brief reprieve on Thursday, but rain returns on Friday and persists into the weekend. By Sunday, there might be some sunshine, but the cold front is not far behind, with winter likely to arrive soon.

For families living in or visiting Montreal, this means planning around the wet weather. Expect delays if you're driving, and consider postponing outdoor activities until the rain passes. As we head into autumn, it's also a good time to start thinking about winter tires, as mandatory starting December 1.
