Hot, summer-like weather is expected across Montreal this week, with temperatures forecasted to reach 27°C today, and many urbanites were out enjoying the sun.
“Today, the weather’s really nice. That’s why I’m getting out of the house and going fishing,” said Larry Cochrane, in French, sitting beside the Lachine Canal with a fishing pole in hand.
“I think it’s the first summer day today, because yesterday it was cold and I still had a hoodie on,” said Montrealer Nicolas Giannesini, who was walking his dog beside the Lachine Canal on Tuesday.
“I think there’s a lot of people doing the same thing, just walking and doing bicycle,” Giannesini said.
“(It’s) nice because I see people so comfortable around the canal,” said Javad Fooladi, who was out for a walk with his pregnant wife on Tuesday. “I see the old men and women walking there. It’s wonderful for me.”
The forecast is mainly sunny on Tuesday with the UV index at 8 — or “very high” — according to Environment and Climate Change Canada.
Tonight, clear skies with a low of 16°C.
