Forget the rain. As Montreal heads into the week, it’s all about turning up the heat.
Going from the mid 20s to the low 30s over the next few days, we will be trading in our favourite fall comfort food for poolside cocktails and sandy beaches, and water parks and ice cream.
According to Environment Canada, Montreal should expect above average temperatures and humidity through to next Thursday.
How to stay cool and have fun during a September heatwave? Here are the top 5 coolest things to do.
Take a dip in a pool
Whether it’s a swanky rooftop situation or our favourite open-air pool, get yourself poolside as soon as possible—there’s an abundance of outstanding pools of all shapes and sizes across the city.
Escape to the beach
An urban beach that serves food and cocktails? A road trip to turquoise water that’s giving Caribbean vibes? Or a nudist beach that promises to vanquish all tan lines? There are no wrong answers here.
Hydrate at Time Out Market Montréal
With 7 bars to choose from—we’re talking two wine bars, cocktails, free beer tastings, mocktails, sodas and a milk bar—there's no better spot downtown to hit (seriously air-conditioned) Time Out Market Montréal.
Pack a picnic for the park
Find the perfect picnic spot in one of the city’s glorious parks, or head into the wild on one of the many trails and hikes in and around Montreal. Grab some of the city’s best hot dogs, smoked meat or cheap eats and you’re good to go.
Soak up the AC indoors
From shopping at the new Nike store to Montreal’s best restaurants, with a stop at the city’s best bars in between, you don’t need to stay home to keep cool.
