Any trick-or-treating goblins or ghouls – or KPop Demon Hunters (IYKYK) – may want to consider adding an umbrella and some rainboots to their costumes as they head out to gather candy or cause mischief for Halloween this Friday.

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has issued a rainfall warning for Montreal and the Vaudreuil area on the year’s spookiest night, with 40 to 60 millimetres of rain expected and temperatures ranging from a high of nine degrees Celsius to a low of four.

In fact, the ground may already be sloshy and soggy by All Hallows’ Eve, with the wet weather expected to start on Thursday afternoon, according to ECCC.

The rainfall is set to stick around until Saturday, with temperatures ranging from zero to five degrees Celsius.

Sunny skies are expected to break through on Sunday before more rain hits the ground on Monday.
