The balmy weather across southern Quebec is expected to continue until midweek with highs in Montreal at about 30 C, without the humidex.
As of 1:30 p.m. Sunday, it was 28 C in Montreal and the heat had broken the former record of 26.7 C set in 1968.
The normal high at this time of year is 17 C — and Environment Canada says the hot weather conditions this upcoming week could break some records in the Montreal region.

The weather agency has also issued a heat warning for Gatineau, where humidex values will make it feel like 40.
Environment Canada recommends planning outdoor activities during cooler periods of the day, keeping hydrated and reducing exposure to the heat.
