It’s been a relatively mild winter for Montrealers up until this point, but Friday is when it really gets chilly. Evening temperatures are expected to feel like -25°C, and perceived temperatures will drop down to -30°C throughout the night.

Curfew or not, that is no weather to be leaving the house.

Though the mercury will be climbing throughout the week, it’ll still be the coldest weekend we’ve seen since the beginning of the winter season, according to the weather agency.

At least it’ll be sunny, and we’re not expecting snowfall anytime next week.
