Should The Weather Network’s forecast hold true for Saturday’s scorcher, it would become the hottest “feels like” weather of the spring so far.
This past Saturday, Montreal hit a high of 33ºC at Trudeau Airport, the island’s highest recorded temperature of the spring.
According to the Farmers’ Almanac for the summer, Montreal can expect a “drier than normal” season and periods of “extreme heat” that will only start fading when we hit August.
