Yesterday was the first day of fall but you wouldn’t know it judging by the weather.
After two-weeks of cooler air, temperatures across southwestern Quebec are expected to climb throughout the week.
Montreal will see a warming trend, most notably over the weekend.
According to The Weather Network, Saturday is expected to be the warmest day in the stretch with a high of 24 degrees Celsius and a humidex around 30— while 27 degrees Celsius is expected on Sunday (with light showers).
“Except for the first week of September where temperatures were slightly above average, the last 2 weeks were way colder than average,” said Jean-Philippe Begin from Environment and Climate Change Canada.
30 degrees may seem unusual except on average, Montreal typically records at least one 30-degree day in the month of September and has seen a total of eight 30-degree days in the month over the last six years.
