After record-breaking temperatures, Montreal under flash freeze, wind warnings

Judging by the number of people wearing shorts outside, it's not that surprising that a weather record was broken Tuesday in Montreal, but residents shouldn't get too used to that summer feeling.

Judging by the number of people wearing shorts outside, it's not that surprising that a weather record was broken Tuesday in Montreal, but residents shouldn't get too used to that summer feeling.

A flash freeze and wind warning are in effect for the Montreal area as the weather is set to go on a bit of a roller coaster ride in the coming days.

Under partly cloudy skies, the city reached a balmy 14.9 C by mid-afternoon Tuesday. The mild temperature broke the previous record set in 2000, when the city saw a high of 10.9 C.

Montreal could break another weather record for Feb. 28 as well, with a forecasted high of 13 C on Wednesday that would shatter the record of 8.3 C set in 2017.
