MONTREAL — One heat-related death has been reported to Montreal's public health department since a period of extreme heat hit the city on Sunday.
Department spokesman Tudor Matei says the city's health agency has been notified of five other heat-related deaths this year, when temperatures soared in late June.
Montreal's public health department asks emergency room doctors to report all suspected heat-related deaths on days when Environment Canada issues heat warnings for the city.
Temperatures exceeded 33 C in Montreal on Sunday and Monday, and the high today is expected to reach 34 C.
Environment Canada says Wednesday's high should be 29 C, with seasonable temperatures returning on Thursday.
Montreal's public health department says it has not received reports of patients admitted to hospital for heat stroke since Sunday.
