Montreal could be in for a rainy Grand Prix weekend
You might need an umbrella for Grand Prix weekend in Montreal this year. A less-than-ideal weather forecast is facing racegoers and Montreal party people ahead of the annual F1 race.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada’s forecast, rain is expected for both Saturday and Sunday, which currently have a 40% and 60% respective chance of showers throughout the island.
The rain is not expected to bring chilly weather, though, with expected highs upwards of 23°C.

Meanwhile, Friday, the clearest of the three days, is expected to feature a mix of sun and clouds and hit a high of 22°C.
Those looking to take advantage of the vibrant nightlife that comes with the event will want to bring a light jacket with them. Temperatures for both Friday and Saturday night are expected to dip down to about 13°C at night.
Last year’s race was hit with substantial showers during qualifying, but remained dry on race day.
Here’s hoping the forecast changes in favour of those expecting to spend a lot of time outside this weekend — and the drivers at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
