Early Summer Heatwave Breaks Temperature Records in Quebec

Quebec is sweltering under a historic heat dome.
A massive high-pressure system has settled over Eastern Canada, pulling hot, humid air from the Gulf of Mexico directly into Quebec and Ontario. In Montreal, temperatures reached 34.5°C yesterday afternoon, eclipsing the previous June 15th record of 31.8°C set in 1998.
