Well yes indeed our summer has come and gone, June and July were marked by cool and cloudy days with some showery periods here and there, August was a normal month for temps and precip. Here is a link from Noaa on this summer's tale. http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2009/2...ummerstats.html

For Montreal the record is 17 days. August into September of 1957. That month of August only 0.5mm of rain fell. http://www.climate.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/...7&Month=8&Day=1

WELL HERE IT IS, THE PERFECT PLACE TO DO STAR GAZING !!! http://www.livescience.com/environment/090...est-driest.html

FROM WHAT I READ WE WILL NOT REACH THE RECORD MINIMUM SET IN 2007. THERE ARE MANY REASONS FOR THIS AND ONE OF THOSE REASONS ARE THE LOW SUN SPOT ACTIVITY AS IT EFFECTS THE POLAR VORTEX IN HIGH ALTITUDE. MAYBE SOME PEOPLE WILL NOT AGREE. HERE ARE SOME LINKS ON THE OUTLOOKS. A FORUM IN FRANCE ON THE MATTER AND S-E-A-R-C-H. http://forums.infoclimat.fr/index.php?showtopic=40159&st=0 http://www.arcus.org/search/seaiceoutlook/...report_july.php

A NEW RECORD WILL BE SET THIS MONTH FOR LEAST AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE FOR MONTREAL. WE ARE AT 198 HOURS OF SUNSHINE WITH 2 DAYS LEFT. SO FAR WE HAD 18 DAYS WITH MAX TEMP BELOW 25C. THE RECORD IS 230 HOURS SET IN JULY OF 1992.

Hello Shawn, That indeed is the cool front but it will have a hard time reaching the Montreal area as a block is set up to the North East of the province and low pressure area will move to the hudson bay region and become stationary there.. Embedded storm cells will hit or miss Southern Quebec the next 48 hours...
