In Canada, the first 30 ° of the season seem to be embarrassed! Indeed, they have not yet dared to show up, even if the opportunity to do so. Well, it could be a matter of hours before this time is the right one! Forecast.
From the heat from one ocean to another
In Canada, the hottest point of 2025 until now has been reached on May 1 in British Columbia, precisely in Ashcroft. The thermometer then displayed 29.1 °. Okay, one can have the impression that the west of the country is more spoiled than the other regions, on the heat side, but in fact it cannot be said that the east was outdone. Since the beginning of the year, several sectors of Quebec have been entitled to their first 20 ° and even more, until the height of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. It was in the last days of April that the hottest temperatures have been reached in most regions in the province.
In southern Quebec, Mercury flirted with 28 ° on April 29, while it was 27.9 ° in Sherbrooke and Saint-Anicet. This duo of cities is also shared the hottest point of 2025 in Quebec, dated May 2.
What if it was this Friday?
On May 2, it would be possible to get the first 30 ° of the season, still on the side of British Columbia. Thursday, the forecasts were 25 ° and the mercury climbed up to 29.1 ° in Ashcroft. On May 2, 26 ° was planned. Thus, if the thermometer further exceeds the 4 ° forecasts, the first 30 ° of the season are completely at hand!
Or maybe Saturday?
During the weekend, this heat thrust will go to Canadian meadows.
On Saturday, it will be Alberta and Saskatchewan’s turn to be entitled to hot weather. Indeed, it could be 28 ° or 29 ° in the southwest of Alberta, notably in Medicine Hat, Lethbridge and Llyodminster. Thus, if British Columbia is unable to seek the first 30 ° of the country on May 2, Alberta could well do it in its place the next day.
Well, it is not in Quebec that this heat will be felt in the short term, however it is still encouraging to know that a mercury worthy of summer comes slowly but surely here!
