Montreal forecast : Hot and steamy, with thundershowers on the way

Hotand steamy: that’s the forecast for Wednesday, but before the day is done there could be violent thunderstorms.

Environment Canada issued a severe weather watch at 9:41 a.m. for Montreal and Laval. “Weather conditions for these regions are favourable to the development of severe thunderstorms. Some of these thunderstorms could produce large hail, high winds, heavy rain and intense lightning.” The watch is in effect until 10 p.m.

Shortly thereafter a severe heat and humidy warning was sent out with particular emphasis on the dangers for people with respiratory ailments, heart disease and children under four and advice to stay in the cool indoors and drink plenty of fluids.

In a week that has seen a roller coaster of weather — car heaters necessary on Monday morning, air conditioning a boon on Wednesday — the warm front that brought fog and curly hair mid-week will also usher in the possibility of up to 40 millimetres of rain later in the evening.

The seasonal high for this time of year is 20 Celsius, but the Environment Canada forecast calls for a Wednesday high of 29C and a UV index of 6. see more...
