After a rather cool weekend with temperatures of 18°C and 20°C, the mercury will be on the rise throughout Quebec, particularly in the South, such as Montreal or Estrie.
Monday, 24°C is forecast, then 31°C on Tuesday, 33°C on Wednesday and 31°C on Thursday in Sherbrooke.
With the humidex factor, the temperature felt will be 40°C Tuesday, 42°C Wednesday and 41°C Thursday.
“We could even exceed the 35 degree mark, which is the current record for the highest temperature ever recorded in Montreal for the month of June,” indicates Nicolas Lessard, meteorologist at Météomédia.
At this temperature, the term extreme heat can be used since the temperature must be between 31 and 33ºC during the day and between 16 and 20ºC at night, for three consecutive days, which should be the case.
Feelings could be above 45°C in the Montreal region. A record temperature observed in Quebec in June 1964.
At this temperature, it is recommended to avoid exertion and above 45°C felt, the conditions become “dangerous for health and heatstroke is possible”.

The advice given: stay cool and hydrated and monitor the condition of animals and the elderly, who may be at greater risk of heat stroke.
We also recommend using regional bodies of water or swimming pools to cool off.
Even the nights should also be uncomfortable since the mercury will be at 21°C and even 23°C during this period.
