Be kind to yourself if you feel a bit like the Dutch cargo ship Heemskerkgracht, which ran aground near Kahnawake Thursday evening. The good news is that ship was freed by a couple of hearty tugs. You’ve got this.
Montrealers woke up to a weather forecast of “mist,” which was expected to clear by the end of the morning. The week starts off hot, in the high 20s, then cools down with the requisite midweek showers.
Expect a high of 27 C Monday, with a humidex of 32 C and a UV index of 6, or high. At night, a low of 16 C.
Meanwhile in Hawaii
Hone passed south of Hawaii and weakened from a hurricane to a tropical storm on Sunday, dumping so much rain that the National Weather Service called off its red flag warnings that strong winds could lead to wildfires on the drier sides of the islands.
The eastern Pacific saw a new threat emerge as Tropical Storm Hector formed, packing top sustained winds of 75 km/h. There were no coastal watches or warnings in effect as Hector churned far out at sea, the National Hurricane Center said.
Hone (pronounced hoe-NEH) had top winds of 110 km/h Sunday night as it swirled slowly past Hawaii.
Hurricane Gilma, meanwhile, weakened to a still-major Category 3 hurricane Saturday night, but it was far east of Hawaii and forecast to weaken into a depression before it reaches the islands. Gilma was expected to remain a hurricane through Tuesday.
