Montreal weather: Here's what to expect for the weekend — and the rest of July
The map, which appears on WeatherCAN, shows Montreal in the centre of a dark orange block, indicating higher than average temperatures for June. This is in line with their three-month map, which shows the region edging into the reds, indicating a very high chance of hotter temperatures.
Montrealers will get a taste of that Friday, with a high of 26 C, a humidex of 28 C and a UV index of 8, or very high. At night, expect a low of 17 C. Saturday will look a lot like Friday, and showers are expected for Sunday.
June's ups and downs evened out in the end, Environment Canada says, with only slightly above average temperatures in southern Quebec despite 'the season's first muggy heat event' — not quite a heat wave, but certainly not comfortable for most.

Heat warning issued for Toronto this weekend, city to open 24/7 cooling space
People soak in the sun over looking Lake Ontario on a warm sunny day at Woodbine Beach in Toronto on Tuesday, May 25, 2021. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denette A heat warning has been issued for Toronto and much of southern Ontario this weekend, with temperatures set to feel like 40 with the humidity. Environment Canada issued the alert Friday afternoon and said daytime highs of 31 C to 33 C are expected on both Saturday and Sunday. 'Take action to protect yourself and others – extreme heat can affect everyone's health," the national weather agency said in the alert. Officials say there will be 'little relief' overnight Saturday, when the temperature will only drop to between 21 C and 25 C. The heat is expected to break Sunday night. Environment Canada urged the public to stay hydrated, use air conditioning if available, limit direct exposure to the sun and limit outdoor activities to the coolest parts of the day. This is the second time in as many weeks that Toronto has been under a heat warning. The city broke a decade-old temperature record on June 23 when the mercury reached 36 C during the three-day event. Toronto Public Health said it saw 42 heat-related ER visits as temperatures soared that week. Friday's heat warning is far reaching, and covers Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, London, Mississauga, Brampton, Newmarket, Niagara Falls, Barrie, Burlington, and many other municipalities. Environment Canada advised to watch out for early signs of heat exhaustion and call 911 if you, or someone around you, is showing signs of heat stroke, including red and hot skin, dizziness, nausea, confusion and change in consciousness. Toronto opens 24/7 cooling space The City of Toronto says it will activate the Metro Hall Rotunda as a 24/7 cooling space starting at noon on Saturday until the heat warning is in effect. Five air-conditioned civic buildings will also be open to the public on extended hours. The following eight outdoor pools are open this weekend until 11:45 p.m. while the warning is in effect: The city said it will be increasing staff by 30 per cent this weekend to ensure all 54 outdoor pools remain operational. Fans and shade structures have been installed for lifeguards and Toronto paramedics will provide wellness checks to high priority locations, the city added. In a news release, Hamilton's medical officer of health said the city is responding by offering so-called 'cool places' to go during the heat wave, the locations of which can be found here.

Heat warning issued for southern Ontario
Child does a canonball into the water. (Source: nappy/Pexels) It will be a very hot weekend in southern Ontario. According to Environment Canada, daytime highs are expected to hit 31 to 33 degrees Celsius on both Saturday and Sunday. With the humidex, it will feel closer to 40. And there will be little to no relief on Saturday night. The agency said the temperature will only drop to 25, or perhaps as low as 21 degrees Celsius, through the overnight. The warning includes almost all of southern Ontario, from Windsor to Niagara Falls, Peterborough to Orillia, and as far west as Owen Sound. The heat event is expected to end Sunday night. Signs of heat illness Heat illness is a serious concern when the mercury rises, especially in older adults, infants, young children, pregnant people, those with physical or mental illnesses, people with mobility issues, those who work outside and the homeless community. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include: Headache Nausea or vomiting Dizziness or fainting Extreme thirst Dark urine and decreased urination Intense fatigue Confusion or lack of coordination Skin rash Muscle cramps Heavy sweating Rapid breathing and heartbeat Heat stroke, meanwhile, is considered a medical emergency. Those symptoms include: High body temperature Very hot, red skin Confusion or change in consciousness Dizziness or fainting No sweating If someone is experiencing heat stroke, experts advise moving them to a cool place, giving them water and placing ice packs on their body. Call 911 immediately. The Waterloo Region Association of Professional Paramedics is also warning that a graphic circulating online about heat stroke and heat exhaustion contains misleading information. Beating the heat The key to avoiding heat illness is to plan ahead. Here are a few things to keep in mind: Know the weather forecast before going outside Modify your plans according to the weather Drink plenty of cool liquids, especially water, even before you feel thirsty Avoid drinks that are high in sugar, caffeine or alcohol Wear loose-fitting, light-coloured clothing made of breathable fabric Seek shade Avoid sun exposure if you can Take breaks as needed Avoid using your oven Take a cool shower or bath Take a break by spending a few hours in a cool place Close blinds and shades, Turn on air conditioning or use a fan Cooling centres The best way to get relief from the heat and humidity is to seek out a designated cooling centre. The Region of Waterloo has locations listed on their website. They include libraries, community centres, museums and regional offices. The map also includes a list of public swimming pools and splash pads. Protecting your pets Leaving pets inside a hot vehicle, even for a few minutes, may be dangerous. Dogs can experience heatstroke, which could lead to organ failure and, ultimately, death. The Humane Society of Kitchener Waterloo & Stratford Perth said once the weather starts to get warm, they receive calls daily about pets left alone in cars. 'Even if there's water in the car, even if you leave the car running with the air conditioner on, you never know when your battery might die,' explained HSKWSP Outreach Coordinator Stacy Murphy. 'It's just not worth the risk.' She suggests calling 911 first before the humane society. Signs of an overheated pet include: Excessive panting Drooling Vomiting Collapsing Lethargy Tongue can appear red or hang out of their mouth If your pet is suffering from the heat, it's a good idea to gradually cool them down. Experts suggest using a cool blanket or towel that is wet. Avoid using ice. 'Ice water can shock animals, so it's important to cool them down gradually,' said Murphy. Owners should keep pets at home when the temperature climbs but if they need to go outside, keep them off the pavement as much as possible, only go for a short walk, or take them out in the morning or evening when it's cooler. 'If you can't put your hand on the pavement and not get too hot too quickly, then your pet probably can't be walking on the pavement in that heat,' Murphy said.
