Today in Montréal: Expect a rainy evening as a series of showers sweep through the city with an 90% chance of precipitation. The temperature will hover around a cool 16°C, and those gusty northern winds are set to make their presence known, blowing at 20 km/h with gusts up to 40 km/h. It’s a day for sturdy umbrellas and maybe a snug jacket to fend off that wind! By late evening, the skies will remain cloudy, with temperatures dipping to a brisk 14°C.
Looking Ahead: The overnight hours into Tuesday promise to stay mostly cloudy, with temperatures dropping further to a low of 11°C. The north wind continues at 15 km/h, making it feel even chillier. Tuesday remains dry but overcast, with temperatures gradually climbing to a high of 18°C by the afternoon. Rain is expected to return by the late afternoon, so keep that umbrella handy!
Historic Note: On this day in history, Montréal once sizzled at 31.7°C back in 1960. Today’s cool spell is quite the contrast! The lowest recorded temperature on this date was a crisp 6.7°C in 1968.
What to Wear
Bundle up a bit today! A waterproof jacket with a hood, a sturdy umbrella, and something cozy for the evening will serve you well. Those gusts can be surprisingly chilly, so you might even want to throw on a scarf.
