First Montreal heat wave to hit this weekend bringing a phenomenon called a Bermuda High
Get ready: the first Montreal heat wave of summer 2025 is about to hit the city. With temperatures already reaching into the mid-30s, sweltering humidity from the recent wet weather will make it feel even hotter thanks to a humidex in the mid 40s. The summer 2025 forecast predicted a wet, humid summer in Montreal, and now we're in it. Starting on Sunday, Monday may see temperatures in Montreal rise up to 46 degrees celsius. The extreme heat event called a "Bermuda High" will last over three days. No better time to hit the beaches in and around Montreal, not to mention the outdoor pools, tree-lined parks and shady hiking areas. What is a Bermuda High? According to an Environment Canada meteorologist, this three-day heat event is called a Bermuda High, due to a semi-permanent subtropical area of high pressure that is further north than usual. It's time to check on your air conditioning: the southern air that is circulating further north will feel oppressive, and thanks to the abundant precipitation we've had over the past months (40 percent more than usual), the moisture will compound with the heat making it feel like 40 degrees celsius (or more). When will the heat wave hit Montreal? According to the Weather Network, things will really start to heat up on Sunday. Here's what to expect: Sunday, June 22: Expect a high of 30 degrees celsius that will feel like 40 degrees celsius Monday, June 23: The heat will reach 34 degrees celsius with a humidex soaring to 46 degrees celsius Tuesday, June 24 : The heat will hover around 33 degrees celsius and feel like 44 degrees celsius Why is Canada having heat waves? As greenhouse gas levels rise and drive global climate change, Canada is heating up at nearly twice the global average. With hotter springs and summers, we're seeing earlier snowmelt, more extreme heat waves, and ideal conditions for wildfires to spread.

Beach days! First heat wave of the year is coming to Vancouver
Temperatures are expected to soar into the high 20s through the weekend and beyond across Metro Vancouver, as the first sustained heat wave of the year settles into the B.C. South Coast. Although the thermostat topped out at about 28 degrees Celsius at Vancouver airport on May 28, it was a one-day wonder, as temperatures were closer to seasonal on the days before and after that sultry Saturday. With sunny skies in the forecast through at least next Tuesday, the daily high in Vancouver on Friday will be 20 C and up to 25 C inland. The humidex, which combines the effect of air moisture with temperature, will make it feel as toasty as 27 C. Saturday and Sunday will be even warmer, with highs of 22 and 23 C respectively near the water and 28 and 29 C inland. The same pattern holds on Monday and Tuesday, with highs of 23 and 24 and up to 29 C away from coastal areas. The UV index across the next few days will also be very high, so slap on that sunscreen if you're hitting the beach or spending much time outdoors. Overnight lows will drop into the mid-teens near the water, but it could stay warmer inland, so you might want to get the fans or air conditioner set up if you haven't already. While the balmy pre-summer weather likely won't warrant any heat warnings along the B.C. coast, areas further east could get some high heat. Kelowna is expected to reach daily highs into the low 30s C early next week, and Kamloops could top out at 35 C on Monday. B.C.'s perennial hot spot, Lytton, could see a daily high of 37 C on Sunday, which for old-school Fahrenheit fans equates to just a tick below 100 degrees. With some cloud in the forecast beginning late Tuesday, temperatures are expected to dip into the mid-teens in the latter half of the week ahead. However, the long-term forecast from the Weather Network calls for lower-than-normal precipitation and a warm summer ahead. Consider the next few days — pardon the pun — a warm-up. jruttle@ Drought, wildfire concerns with warm summer forecast for B.C. Winds expected to drive wildfire toward Kelly Lake in B.C.
