Montreal Braces for Severe Thunderstorms and Intense Heat Wave
Hey everyone, just a quick but important update about the weather situation in Montreal—you’re going to want to pay attention to this. As of today, Environment Canada has issued both a severe thunderstorm watch and a heat warning for the Montreal Island area. So, if you were thinking about heading out for the day or making outdoor plans, you might want to rethink that.
Now, let me walk you through what’s happening. Temperatures are expected to soar to 32°C , and with the humidity factored in, it’s going to feel more like a scorching 40°C . That kind of heat can be dangerous, especially for the elderly, young children, and anyone with existing health issues. It’s not just hot—it’s dangerously hot. Officials are reminding everyone to stay hydrated, stay in the shade, and check in on vulnerable neighbours.

But that’s not all. This intense heat is creating unstable atmospheric conditions, which means severe thunderstorms are likely to roll in by late afternoon. We’re talking strong wind gusts reaching up to 100 km/h , heavy downpours , and maybe even some localized flooding if the rain comes down hard and fast enough. The risk of storms will hang around into the evening before tapering off around midnight.
Tonight, we can expect lingering showers with temperatures dipping to around 19°C—not exactly cool, but a slight relief from the daytime highs. Monday isn’t looking too calm either. It starts off mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of morning showers , then ramps up with more rain and possible thunderstorms in the afternoon. The temperature will drop a bit to 23°C, but it’ll still feel like 30 thanks to the humidity.
The rest of the week is a bit of a rollercoaster. Tuesday is expected to stay cloudy with a high of 25°C. Wednesday brings some sunshine and a high of 28°C—a little break from all the wet weather. But don’t get too comfortable—clouds return Thursday with a 60% chance of showers and continue into Friday. The good news? The weekend ahead looks promising, with a mix of sun and cloud and highs around 27°C.
So what does all this mean for us here in Montreal? Well, it’s time to stay alert and make smart choices. Postpone those outdoor events if you can, make sure your AC or fans are working, and avoid being outside during storm conditions. These aren’t just your average summer showers—these storms can be dangerous.
Stay safe out there, Montreal. Keep an eye on the skies, check the weather updates regularly, and take care of each other.
