Montreal weather: Here's what to expect for the weekend — and the rest of July
Environment Canada has issued a July temperature outlook — and June lookback — that shows above-average temperatures for midsummer. The map, which appears on WeatherCAN, shows Montreal in the centre of a dark orange block, indicating higher than average temperatures for June. This is in line with their three-month map, which shows the region edging into the reds, indicating a very high chance of hotter temperatures. Montrealers will get a taste of that Friday, with a high of 26 C, a humidex of 28 C and a UV index of 8, or very high. At night, expect a low of 17 C. Saturday will look a lot like Friday, and showers are expected for Sunday. June's ups and downs evened out in the end, Environment Canada says, with only slightly above average temperatures in southern Quebec despite 'the season's first muggy heat event' — not quite a heat wave, but certainly not comfortable for most.
