Montreal’s First Heat Wave Arrives

From a few months ago, here’s my heat wave potion!

Montrealers are gearing-up for the first serious heat wave of the summer. Over the next few days temperatures will hit the upper thirties Celsius and the humidity will kick-in to make it feel like 40°C or about 105°F.  Cicadas will be singing, swimming pools will be packed, malls will provide an air conditioned oasis for those who lack it at home, and the pace of life will slow down.  A list of requirements includes both sunblock and an umbrella for those pop-op storms,  a good shade-providing tree, a lawn chair, several books and magazines, perhaps even a jazz festival … and I know there’s something else, but I just can’t think of it …
