But before you get too excited about endless blue skies and sunny stretches, you might want to brace for a few more storms.</p><p>According to long-range data from the <a href="https://www.farmersalmanac.com/long-range-weather-forecast/nova-scotia-pei-new-brunswick-quebec" target="_blank">2024–2025 Farmers' Almanac</a>, August will be warmer than usual in southern Quebec, with average daytime highs around 20 °C, which is about a degree above normal. That said, the month is also expected to bring above-average precipitation — around 120 mm total, or roughly 25 mm more than usual.</p><p>The Almanac uses a centuries-old blend of astronomical and mathematical data to make long-term weather predictions</p><p>Here's how southern Quebec's August forecast is shaping up, according to The Farmers' Almanac</p><h2>The Farmers' Almanac's August forecast</h2><p><strong>August 1st to 3rd</strong></p><ul><li>Good weather.</li></ul><p><strong><strong>August</strong> 4-7<strong></strong></strong></p><ul><li>Thunderstorms, then a return to generally mild weather.</li></ul><p><strong><strong>August</strong> 8-11<strong></strong></strong></p><ul><li>Heavy showers and some isolated violent thunderstorms are possible, then sunny spells.</li></ul><p><strong><strong>August</strong> 12 to 15<strong></strong></strong></p><ul><li>Pleasant weather.</li></ul><p><strong><strong>August</strong> 16-19<strong></strong></strong></p><ul><li>Thunderstorms, then back to good weather.</li></ul><p><strong><strong>August</strong> 20-23<strong></strong></strong></p><ul><li>Clear skies, then unstable weather with showers.</li></ul><p><strong><strong>August</strong> 24-27<strong></strong></strong></p><ul><li>Generally nice and warm.</li></ul><p><strong><strong>August</strong> 28 to 31<strong></strong></strong></p><ul><li>The heat persists.</li></ul><p>If the forecast holds, Quebecers can expect a warm but occasionally wet end to the season. And after the spring and early summer we've had, that might just be the most on-brand outcome yet.</p><p>So, if you're planning to sneak in some late-summer road trips, beach days, or terrasse hangs, the second week of August looks like your best bet. Still, don't be surprised if things flip quickly — this year's weather has been anything but predictable.</p><p>You can read the Almanac's full summer forecast <a href="https://www.farmersalmanac.com/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p><em>Love this?
