He claims:

Montreal recorded its highest temperature in recorded history, dating back 147 years, of 36.6C on Monday. The city also posted its most extreme midnight combination of heat and humidity.

Which is all very strange, because the official Canadian Government data shows a much higher temperature of 37.6C in August 1975:
