Unas graves inundaciones afectaron la red vial de Montreal el domingo después de que violentas tormentas eléctricas atravesaran la región, arrojando grandes cantidades de lluvia durante la tarde. En las últimas horas, se reportaron entre 60 mm y 70 mm de lluvia en los suburbios del norte de Montreal. Por lo tanto, la ciudad podría recibir una cantidad similar de precipitaciones.

This video was captured in the Chabanel district on St-Laurent Blvd.
One user posted a video of water getting into a moving STM bus.
Underpasses were no-gos during the height of the storm.
Drains were overflowing, and Montrealers caught these moments all over the city, including a few toilets.
@arsiwarsimtl I was trying to say, 'Drain water' not 'rain water'. It's obviously rain water. But it was also water from the DRAINS ️ #montreal #canada #thunderstorm ♬ original sound - Arsalan

Londoners feeling the heat as hot weather blankets the region
As the region enters its third day of an intense heat wave, health officials are warning people to stay hydrated and watch for signs of heat exhaustion. Meanwhile, some Londoners are embracing the heat, saying it's better than the frigid temperatures of winter. "I used to work outside but I definitely wouldn't be working outside today," said Heather Rennox, who was enjoying the splash pad with her 10-month-old daughter, Hailey. "It can be scary because I wonder if she's keeping cool because you get pretty hot — and you know when you're hot — but they can't tell you. We have a fan and we try to keep her hydrated. We go back and forth from inside and outside in the shade." Hailey wasn't a huge fan of the splash pad, at least not yet, Rennox said. The loudness of the water gave her a scare. At the basketball court several metres away, 19-year-old buddies Tayedin Bartley and Ateny Kuol were shooting hoops and taking lots of water breaks. "Just as long as you drink lots of water and don't overwork, you're good," said Kuol. "If you're sweating too much, sit down. Just be reasonable with yourself." The two play on a summer basketball team called Strive Hoops, said Bartley, who said he doesn't like complaining about the heat because he prefers summer to winter. "Summer is definitely better," he said. At the next court over, Liam Seanor was practicing his basketball skills and taking in the fresh air. "I was just bored of sitting inside, honestly. If I was inside, I'd be on my computer, not doing anything active, so it's good to get outside. It's good for you." A heat warning from Environment Canada is expected to last until Thursday, when a cooler airmass is expected to arrive in the evening.

Heat warning issued for P.E.I., effective Tuesday through Thursday
A heat warning has been issued for Prince Edward Island, with temperatures from Tuesday through Thursday possibly reaching 30 C but feeling like 36. "An air mass building into the Maritimes will bring an extended period of very warm conditions," Environment Canada said on its weather alerts site as the warning was posted. "The highest temperatures are expected to occur inland, with cooler conditions near the immediate coast." A large swath of southern Canada is under a similar warning, with the additional wrinkle of poor air quality due to smoke from forest fires over northern Ontario. Environment Canada forecasts maximum temperatures of 28 to 30 C throughout Prince Edward Island on the three days in question, with humidex values reaching up to 36. The overnight minimum temperatures will be 16 to 19 degrees. "Close blinds, or shades and open windows if outside is cooler than inside," the federal agency advised. "Turn on air conditioning, use a fan, or move to a cooler area of your living space. "If your living space is hot, move to a cool public space such as a cooling centre, community centre, library or shaded park." Heat illness is a threat, the agency said: "Check on older adults, those living alone and other at-risk people in-person or on the phone multiple times a day. Watch for the early signs of heat exhaustion in yourself and others. Signs may include headache, nausea, dizziness, thirst, dark urine and intense fatigue." Islanders can also visit the federal government 's website for more tips on staying safe during extreme heat and what to do in case of a heat-related emergency.
