High pressure will draw warm and humid air from the southern US today and push the mercury up to 30C in Montreal. Yesterday started cool and showery but once the clouds cleared the temperature soared to 27C in a matter of hours. The rain accumulated between 30 and 35mm in most regions.
June is turning out to be quite a wet month as system after system from the west moves across the Great Lakes and along the US border. Speaking of the west, yesterdays storm in northern Montana dumped up to 150mm of rain on southern Alberta with 25-50mm in southwest Saskatchewan. It is likely that many agricultural regions in both provinces will need to be declared disaster areas as a result of excessive rainfall and flooded fields. Seeding is way behind schedule in most areas of Saskatchewan and may likely be abandoned all together in some fields.
Back east the heat and humidity will last throughout the weekend with just a chance of a shower or thunderstorm each afternoon. Keep cool & be good.
