Cooler weather

It was another spectacular day on Monday in what has become a spectacular summer. Sunshine pushed the mercury above the forecast high again to 28C in Montreal. Today will be the last in this current string of awesome days with sunshine through increasing clouds and a high of 27C. Tonight showers will develop as weak low pressure and a cold front move from Ontario across Quebec. Wednesday will be noticeably cooler with showers and thunderstorms and a forecast high of 21C. Skies will clear by Thursday and the first half of the weekend at this time looks good, the second half not so good.

**I spoke briefly the other day on the cooler nights and fog as August moves along and September beckons. Last night when I went to bed it was a summery 23C at 11pm. Just 5 hours later Ile Perrot was 16C. That is a drop from 73F to 61F in just 6 hours (more dramatic in Fahrenheit), that my friends is radiational cooling at its best under clear skies and with light winds. That is very fall like for sure, just saying!
