    Mayor Plante said she would try to set up public projections of the hockey finals but nothing has been announced yet. This isn’t just bread and circuses, but an effort to keep people from gathering in packed crowds around the Bell Centre as they did for the semifinal games.

      It’s hot, but it’s also very windy. Out walking around Sunday afternoon, I heard a loud noise nearby – a sort of thudding crash. A dead branch had blown down a few feet from me, and smashed into the windshield of a parked car. I was lucky not to be any closer – I don’t think it would’ve killed me, but it would’ve knocked me down or out, for sure.

        Cyclists are not immune to the orange cone phenomenon, with the city blaming its striking engineers for delays in delivering the complete REV this summer.

        The engineers’ union is back to work Monday but with some details still to be worked out.

            Heat and humidity are expected for the beginning of the week, to be followed by cooler temperatures and rain – which we and the crops need – on Wednesday.

            There’s a heat warning on the official weather site now and I’ve got to say, Environment Canada leaps to big warnings for everything now, so that if we ever had really dire weather coming, I don’t know what colour they could use.

              Back in the day, 30 was considered a normal summer day here in Montreal. And humidity was the norm.

              The warnings shouldn’t just be because it hits 30 in the shade.
              The very high humidity and the nighttime temp staying over 20 contribute.
