As Canadians we talk about the weather relentlessly, I just talk about it a little more! I hope to provide useful information to my family, friends and all those who simply enjoy talking about the weather. While I try to include information of interest from all over North America, my primary region of concern is the St. Lawrence Valley of Quebec, Ontario, and New York, as well as our neighbouring regions. This Blog is dedicated to my late father for inspiring my interest in weather.

Wicked thunderstorms cool off one hot city
The combination of strong winds and lightning knocked out power to over 40,000 Hydro Quebec clients, most across the West Island, Monteregie and South Shore. As of 11am Tuesday, 5600 clients remain without power.
Looking ahead to the remainder of this week, we can expect less humid weather, but still warm and somewhat unsettled. There is a risk of more showers and isolated thunderstorms today and Wednesday, but the risk is slight. On Thursday, skies should clear along with dryer air. The temperature will remain above normal, as it has all summer in Montreal. Expect daytime highs from 26C to 30C (79F to 86F) with overnight lows a little more comfortable, between 16C and 20C (61F to 68F). Skies will be partly to mostly sunny from Thursday through Sunday.
