Monday's mild and solid—grab sunscreen, MTL, June 1st.

Good morning. You're waking to 19°C and partly cloudy skies—honestly a solid start to the week. Grab a light layer if you're heading out early, but the real thing to clock is the UV sitting at 6.0, which is high. Sunscreen is the move if you're going to spend time outside. Light holds till 8:35 PM tonight, so you've got a proper long day ahead.

On the commute side, give yourself a heads-up on a couple of transit things. There's a technical issue disrupting REM service at Édouard-Montpetit station, so if that's part of your route, plan around it or give yourself extra time. The usual structural work is also happening—sécurisation de structures is ongoing—and the train from St-Jérôme in is running, so nothing major blocking you in, but Monday mornings on the métro are Monday mornings.

Worth knowing: there was severe weather over the weekend that knocked out power for thousands across the region. If that hit your neighbourhood, check in on your block to see if anything's still down. Also on the radar—there's a new investigation into actions by Longueuil police in the Nooran Rezayi case, something that's been on people's minds around the region. And it's marking 50 years since mandatory seatbelts became law in Quebec, which is one of those milestones that sits quietly in the background of how we all move around now.

For lunch or dinner, the weather's playing nice, so if you're thinking of eating outside, this is your day. A couple of rooftop terrasses in Old Montreal are worth a look if you want to sit with a view and the long evening light. If you're in the mood for something that's landed on the world's radar, there's a Canadian burger that made it onto a best-in-the-world list—worth tracking down if you're curious. Otherwise, just pick somewhere you trust and grab a seat on the patio.

Tonight, if you're in the mood for something live, Napalm Death is at Fairmount Theatre at 7:00 PM—weeknight metal, and you'll be home by nine. A$AP Rocky is at Centre Bell at 7:30 PM if that's more your speed. Otherwise, it's a Monday—stay warm, stay hydrated, and take the win that the sun's going to stick around till nearly 8:30 PM.

Go sort yourself.
