Montreal is getting ready for a picture-perfect Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend, with sunshine and pleasant temperatures forecasted through Monday.

Friday kicks off with mainly sunny skies and a high of 19°C, making for ideal conditions as fans start arriving. The UV index remains high at 8, so sunscreen is a must. Overnight, skies turn partly cloudy with a comfortable low of 11°C.

Saturday will be even warmer, with sunshine continuing and highs reaching 22°C. A light northeast wind at 20 km/h may offer some relief from the sun during the action-packed qualifying rounds. The clear skies persist into the night with another mild low of 11°C.

Race day on Sunday looks flawless, with sunny skies and a high of 25°C—perfect weather for both drivers and spectators. The evening remains clear with a low of 14°C, ideal for post-race celebrations.

Looking ahead to Monday, the sunshine continues with a high of 27°C before giving way to a few clouds overnight and a low of 17°C.
