If hot and humid is your preferred weather, experts say you have a lot to look forward to this summer.
After a cool start to spring, Quebec will experience extreme temperatures in the coming months, as predicted by Media and other summer forecasts. This means the province will see heavy storms and a lot of rain, which will present challenges for farmers.“ Dr. said, “It is extremely, very likely that we will have warmer months than in previous years.” Djordje Romanic, a McGill University atmospheric science assistant professor.
Romanic told Media Quebec might not have more thunderstorms this summer, but the storms will be almost certainly be more violent.
Farmers have been affected by the cooler and wet start to spring. According to Phil Quinn, co-owner of Quinn’s farm, “it’s been great if you’re growing hay or kale or broccoli or anything that loves the cool weather.” However, “it is a whole lot more challenging if you are trying to grow corn or you have to control fungal infections in fruit and apples.” In addition to making it difficult to plant, the rain is to blame for a crop disease that is new to Quebec.
