Overwhelming heat for southern Quebec

Sunday will be marked by oppressive heat for southern Quebec, and pleasant temperatures elsewhere.

Environment Canada has issued a heat warning for the Montreal, Montérégie and Drummondville regions, due to felt temperatures of 40 and above, expected in the afternoon.

“The risks are greatest for young children, pregnant women, the elderly, people with chronic illnesses and those who work or exercise outdoors. Look for a cool place, for example the shade of trees, the swimming pool, the shower or the bath and an air-conditioned place like a public building, ”said the federal agency in its web publication.

The UV index in these areas will also be very high, so sunscreen will be in order.

Despite a slightly lower humidity, the regions of the Capitale-Nationale, Estrie, Laurentides, Lanaudière and Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean will also be under significant heat, with a mercury indicating 30 ° C and more.

The day will be a little more pleasant for Eastern Quebec, where the humidity will not exceed the cape of 30. The only downside: the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region shows significant storm potential from the afternoon.

The rain should water most of the province on Monday, to offer a sunny rest of the week the next day.
