Montreal weather: It's June, and Mars is in the Beehive

Never have we felt so much like spies.

“Mars is in the Beehive” is like a secret password you need after knocking on a door in dark alley. This time, we’re not concerned with spies or speakeasies, but rather astronomy.

According to the Sea and Sky website, June 1 and 2 are when Mars passes through a cluster of stars in the constellation Cancer. A good pair of binoculars should be enough to see Mars hanging out near the Beehive cluster. For more information, check out seasky.org.

Meantime, back on Earth, the heat wave continues with a sunny high of 33 C expected. That’ll feel like 36 C with the humidex, and the UV index is 8, or very high. At night, expect a low of 20 C.
