Environment and Climate Change Canada Montréal Trudeau Airport composite, 1991–2020 normals: mean daily maximum 26.7°C and minimum 16.7°C. Clothing bands round each normal and extend 2°C each way; they are not forecast intervals or limits on extreme weather. The composite joins station 7025250 and 7025251 records. Airport conditions differ from sheltered streets and exposed hill paths. Check the actual forecast; rain wording is a qualitative packing reminder rather than a wet-day probability.
