It’s about to get very hot and humid again in the Montreal area.

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has issued a special weather statement for the Greater Montreal area, warning that heat and humidity are on the way.

A period of warm and humid weather is expected during the next few days.

“From Sunday to Tuesday, temperatures will reach above the 30-degree mark, and humidex values will be approaching 40. The nights will be warm and will offer little relief,” the statement reads.

ECCC is asking people to monitor alerts and forecasts in the coming days.
