The humidex will reach 37 today, but cooling off might not be as easy as you think. Before you head out to your local beach in the morning, you should make sure it will be open: many beaches in Greater Montreal remain closed due to increased water levels from the floods this spring.
Radio-Canada reports that the Bois de l'Île Bizard beach on Lake of Two Mountains is closed, as well as the beach on Île Charron in the St. Lawrence River.
The Salaberry-de-Valleyfield beach in Îles-de-Saint-Timothée Regional Park is also closed.
But not every beach in the region is closed. In particular, Jean-Doré beach on Parc Jean-Drapeau remains unaffected by rising water levels, as the Clocktower Beach in the old port, and Cap St. Jacques beach in Pierrefonds.
