The tables below give yearly averages for rainfall plus snowfall at cities and towns in Quebec. Each place has a total for how many days of wet weather it usually gets a year and for the normal amount of precipitation.
You can jump to a separate table for each section of the province: Southern Quebec, South-Central Quebec, Western Quebec, Gaspé Peninsula, North Shore and Northern Quebec.
The calculation of days only includes the days when precipitation totalled at least 0.2 millimetres (0.008 inches). The annual amount of precipitation is an average of weather data collected during 1981 to 2010.
