What’s in store for Montreal’s weather?
Montreal is in for a rainy stretch today, with steady showers dominating the forecast. Temperatures will hover around a mild 17°C (63°F) this afternoon, but you might want to hold onto your hats—winds from the southwest will gust at a breezy 20 km/h. If you were planning an outdoor activity, now’s a good time to reconsider; with a whopping 100% chance of rain continuing into the evening, staying dry might be a challenge!
As we move into tonight, the temperature will dip to around 13°C (55°F), with continued rain until late evening. By midnight, the skies should start to clear up a bit, bringing some relief after the soggy day.
Humidity levels will remain high throughout the day, currently at 89%, making the air feel just a little more muggy than usual for September. If you’re heading out, it’s a good idea to wear something waterproof, paired with layers to stay warm as the temperatures cool this evening.
The barometric pressure is sitting at 100.9 kPa, which reflects the stable, albeit rainy, weather ahead.
A Look Ahead
Sunday will give Montrealers a bit of a break, with partly cloudy skies expected, though still cool at around 15°C (59°F). Winds will stick around at 20 km/h, keeping things brisk, but at least you won’t need your umbrella as much!
Historical Highs and Lows
On this day, September 7th, the record high for Montreal was a toasty 31.5°C (89°F) set back in 1983. The record low was a chilly 3.5°C (38°F) in 1951—thankfully, we’re nowhere near either extreme today.
Wardrobe Tip
Break out your raincoat and water-resistant boots. You’ll also want a cozy sweater for when the temperatures drop later this evening. With this much rain, today’s definitely a day for some indoor cozy time or a hot beverage at your favorite café.
