Montreal weather: The forecast is improving by a matter of degrees
The days are getting longer and warmer.
Tuesday's high in Montreal will be 25 C, with a UV index of 7, or high. By afternoon, a few clouds will mingle with the sun. The air-quality index is considered to be low risk. The sun sets at 8:31; at night, expect a low of 13 C.
If you want more drama in your forecast, just wait a week. June 1 is the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season, and it's set to be a doozy.
The National Oceanic and Atmosphereic Administration expects an active season with between 13 and 19 named storms this year, up to 10 of which could become hurricanes, Environment Canada reports. Three to five of those could become major hurricanes.
'While tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic Basin is expected to be above the long-term average this year, this doesn't necessarily indicate the number or nature of storms we can expect in Canada or where they might make landfall,' Environment Canada says. Up to 40 per cent of Atlantic basin storms make it into the Canada Response Zone. Yet 'even one strong hurricane making landfall can lead to havoc, destruction and death.'
The coming storms are already named:
