Children may be going back to school, marking the unofficial end of summer, but Mother Nature says "hold on!"
Environment Canada kicked off the week by issuing a heat warning for the Montreal area.
Warm and humid conditions settling over Southern Quebec today will likely linger into Wednesday. Tuesday day will be particularly humid with humidex values expected to be in the low forties" the agency said.
As of 5:00 A.M. the Monday forecast was calling for a high of 28°C, however with the humidex that is expected to jump near 35°C.
It only gets hotter from there.
On Tuesday the weather office is predicting sunshine, a high of 32°C, with the humidex pushing that up to 43°C.
"Change or report outdoor activities to cooler periods of the day, reduce health risks to young children by cooling them often, hydrating them adequately and reducing their exposure to heat."
On Wednesday, we're expecting a cold front to move in, with a chance of showers, and a high of 28°C.
On Thursday, we should return to sunshine and normal temperatures for this time of year, with a high of 23°C. By Thursday night, we might even have to deal with overnight lows in the single digits.
