Wednesday was the hottest day
La Presse (via AFP) says Wednesday was the hottest day in Montreal history.
Cooling stops are open around town. (What’s a better translation of halte-fraîcheur?)

Beside the subject, La Presse is taking a text of 227 words and a video I could pump out in about 30 minutes ( I know I make some of those) from a French agency on a subject that just happens to be from their own hometown. That’s actually kinda sad.

Small clarification: it was hottest May day in history, but the absolute hottest remains August 1, 1975 at 37.6 degrees.

The headline did say hottest, until Propos tweeted La Presse.

I’m amazed it’s not higher – some days I can remember almost hallucinating from the heat.

Bear in mind we were spared some discomfort yesterday because the humidity was only around 35%. Had it been up around 80%, which isn’t unusual in the worst days of summer, it would have been unbearable.

Toronto calls them “cooling centres.”

Let’s go with “chill spots”. That way we can dispense with one extra term.
