12:01 AM EDT Wednesday 5 June 2024 Special Weather Statement in effect for: Metro Montréal - Laval The warm airmass covering Southern Quebec for the last few days will persist until Thursday morning. Maximum temperatures will range from 30 to 32 degrees Celsius with Humidex values reaching between 35 and 38 on Wednesday. The heat will also persist overnight Wednesday night; minimum temperatures hovering near 20 degrees Celsius will offer little relief. Everyone can be at risk from heat. Regularly drink plenty of water, even before feeling thirsty, to reduce your risk of dehydration. Thirst is not a good indicator of dehydration. Reduce your heat risk. Schedule outdoor activities during the coolest parts of the day. If you are in an overheated location, look for a cool place, such as the shade of trees, a water fountain with splash pad, a cooling station, or an air-conditioned facility like a public building. Never leave people, especially children, or pets in a parked vehicle. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
