Quebec City Climate and Weather

Summer is undoubtedly the best time in Quebec City, unless you are specifically after enjoying a cold, white winter. June, July, August, September and October are the only months of the year when the city is free of snow, with the annual average snowfall measuring 14 feet (4m). It has been known to snow right up to early May. Temperatures drop well below freezing from late November to early April, exacerbated by a strong wind chill. Summer days, by contrast, are usually pleasantly warm and sunny, ideal for outdoor activities. Summer nights can be cool though. The city usually revels in an 'Indian Summer' for a few weeks in early October, making autumn another popular season for visiting.
