Fall Season When I arrived in Montreal, it was fall season. What a great season! The weather was so pleasant, at least for me, with temperatures below 20 degrees Celsius. Of course, people were using jackets during the day, something that is quite unusual in Brazil. Since I have just lived in Brasília (Brazil’s capital) and Rio de Janeiro (not the capital lol) I got used with hot temperatures through all the year. Actually in those places people don’t know when the seasons change because it doesn’t change the weather at all, temperatures continue in the range of 20 and 35/40 degrees pretty much. Because of that I went to Canada not knowing how the weather would drastically changed during my journey… One of my first bad experiences relating to weather in Canada was when I went to Quebec city, a charming city near Montreal, usually with temperatures below from the latter. My mistake was to overlook the importance of good coat and not check the weather forecast. In Montreal the day before, everything was perfect, I was wearing a ‘Brazilian jacket’ and I felt very comfortable walking outside. So I and some friends traveled to Quebec, me using the same jacket, and we went to know the city afterwards. Near the Saint Lawrence River (one of the main sights of the city) I felt badly cold. Not that the temperatures was too low, it was roughly 15 degrees, but the wind was blowing relentlessly. Adding my lack of preparation and that wind, I was freezing...

Fall Season

When I arrived in Montreal, it was fall season. What a great season! The weather was so pleasant, at least for me, with temperatures below 20 degrees Celsius. Of course, people were using jackets during the day, something that is quite unusual in Brazil. Since I have just lived in Brasília (Brazil’s capital) and Rio de Janeiro (not the capital lol) I got used with hot temperatures through all all through (just switch the word order to sound more natural) the year. Actually in those places people don’t know when the seasons change because it doesn’t change the weather the weather doesn't change at all, temperatures continue in the range of 20 and 35/40 degrees pretty much.
