While it’s never a good sign for the country or the planet when your daily weather update begins with air quality, the good news is that Canada’s Air Quality Health Index score for Montreal is a 2 on Thursday, which means “low risk.”
This designation means that members of at-risk groups can continue engaging in outdoor activities.
Will they — or anyone else — want to be outdoors on Thursday? The answer to that question will vary by the hour.
Environment Canada’s forecast for Montreal includes a 40 per cent chance of showers during the late morning and early afternoon that could turn into a thunderstorm.
The daytime high is expected to be 25 C., with a humidex of 27.
It’ll be a clear night in Montreal with temperatures dropping to a comfortable 16 C.
