SAINT-JEROME, Que. — Quebec officials have reported flooding on a handful rivers north of Montreal and in Quebec City after heavy downpours fell on parts of the province this week.

In St-Jerome, Que., roughly 50 kilometres northwest of downtown Montreal, water flow above 260 cubic metres per second led the province’s Public Security Department to categorize flooding on the Riviere du Nord as “major” on Saturday morning. Officials recorded a flow of around just 64 cubic metres per second on the same river three days earlier.
