Strong winds in Quebec: thousands of power outages

Strong winds in Quebec: thousands of power outages


Here we go

The storm has already begun to disrupt the daily lives of people in Abitibi and Temiskamingu, even with snow and light freezing rain Wednesday morning in Val-d’Or. But in southern parts of Quebec, the system will leave heavy rain in its wake.

A good test for raincoats

The Outaouais has already received a good amount of cold rain, and this afternoon, the corridor between Montreal and Quebec will be sprinkled heavily. Up to 40 mm of water may accumulate in some places. So it is important to monitor the dangers of aquaplaning on roads. Estre and beaus will be served later in the evening. At the same time, rain should remain calm in the Montreal area. For Estrie and Beuss, there will be a late Wednesday evening lull.

Big wind after rain

Wind gusts of 90 or 100 km/h are possible in the St. Lawrence and Richelieu valleys. Strong winds near Trudeau Airport. Peaks were observed at 85 kmph. Their power will decrease slightly during the night, but will increase again on Thursday morning. Slightly less strong winds are expected on Thursday, but they will reach speeds of 70 km/h, so should not be ignored.

Look at the branches

Strong winds have already caused power outages in Quebec. Montreal and Montérégie regions are particularly affected.

If you have installed your temporary car shelter, it’s a good idea to check the strength of the anchors, if you don’t want to move it around. If you haven’t done so yet, there will be no time to revise in the next few days.
