The Most Hilarious Twitter Reactions To Canada's Extreme Heatwave

Montreal is currently under a heat warning and Twitter has some feelings about that.

It's hot. It's hot everywhere. It's not just Quebec or Canada. It's huge areas across North America. 

But one thing that does make this oppressive heat a little easier to deal with is reading some of the hilarious and slightly alarming Twitter reactions.

Ok, maybe it doesn't make it easier to deal with, we're just trying really hard to be positive right now.

 

It's not just Montreal, it's everywhere. The weather channels should just start playing this GIF on loop:

Montreal has been dealing with and dodging heatwaves for a few weeks now:

Most of us woke up this morning like this: 

This morning's GIF. This is what it feels like outside. Luckily I have air conditioning. Staying inside to write sounds like a good idea. How are you all doing today?#WritingCommunity #Montreal #heatwave #Summer2019 pic.twitter.com/xHSH93Wwgq

The Public Safety of Canada Twitter was the first to give us a few pointers for the heat, great thanks...super helpful.

You can’t control the weather; but you can control its impact on you.

Canadian actress Shira Lazar pretty much wrapped up how most of us are feeling today:

But we're more along the lines of what this Twitter user is thinking: 

Why go to the gym when you can look like you ran a 5k simply by walking a block? #Montreal #heatwave

If you are going to brave it outside then walk to the nearest chilled beer drink.

Some people couldn't stand the heat and took the opportunity to slip a little politics in there.

This #heatwave is gonna kill me, just like #TrudeauMustGo is killing Canada

Some spent the time reminiscing to a time of better temperatures (trans: And again it's also starting to get pretty hot too. Remember when 25 degrees in the sun was like a hot day for me. Go Quebec at the worst eh.)

Et encore il commence aussi Γ  faire pas mal chaud aussi lΓ -bas. Remember quand 25 degrΓ©s au soleil c'Γ©tait comme un jour de canicule pour moi. Go QuΓ©bec au pire hein.

And others had to explain to their US friends the difference between Fahrenheit and Celsius:

Yes, my friends: this could definitely be #Texas!! But this is #Montreal (the temperature is in Fahrenheit) #melting #heatwave https://t.co/wURuHLlnDt

Without a doubt one of the worst places to be in the summer and during a heatwave is the Montreal metro:

Taking the metro during the heatwave wishing I was Voldemort without a nose 😭 #mtlproblems #montreal #stmproblems

β€” Brandnewchick β™’ (@brandnewchick1) July 15, 2018

I love when it’s NOT that hot outside, but the metro is still a steamy, stale, sweaty garbage shoot. Feels great. #montreal

There are some stops in Montreal metro where its basically a hot humid hell and honestly I feel this

β€” Julie (@berrycrepes) July 19, 2019

And then there is the worrisome....we, what? Smell?

Halifax is beautiful stay there the people are lovely. Montreal smells funny today and it’s crazy hot.

But there is supposed to be heavy rain the entire weekend, that's got to help:

Me: "Oh good, it's raining. That'll get rid of the heat and humidity."

Montreal: "Haha NOPE."#Montreal #storm #heatwave

The West Coast is having much better weather than its East Coast counterparts. And they are laughing at us.

Heat wave eh? This is the West coast of Canada at the moment πŸ˜… #heatwave pic.twitter.com/6ofWa3MtQl

But as we all complain from the heat, let's just take a moment and think about where we'll be in a few months:

But still, short and sweet is always appreciated:

This weather sucks major ass #heatwave

At least Toronto is feeling the same:
