Luke calendar Shared calendar Weather World brief Around Montréal

7 AM–noon

Best outdoor window

Use the dry morning if you want to be outside

It is partly cloudy and about 6°C at breakfast; the forecast calls for sun this morning before clouds and shower risk build later.

Mount Royal or Jeanne-Mance loop

Best fit today: a close, low-setup walk before the afternoon shower and thunderstorm risk. Bring a layer; it starts cool.

noon–6 PM

Keep errands flexible

Showers possible after lunch

Environment Canada has a 40% chance of afternoon showers, a thunderstorm risk, and west wind near 20 km/h. Keep a rain shell handy if you are out.

Animation festival starts at Cinémathèque québécoise

Les sommets du cinéma d’animation de Montréal runs May 11–16; it is a good indoor backup if the afternoon turns wet.

7–9 PM

Optional evening plan

Podkassos at Théâtre comédie de Montréal

French-language comedy at 7:00 PM, listed at $13. Useful if you want a concrete, low-cost evening option rather than browsing generic listings.

World brief

U.S.–Iran talks stall; oil jumpsReuters reports renewed uncertainty over the Strait of Hormuz after Washington rejected Iran’s latest proposal; oil rose more than 4%, which matters for energy prices and market risk.

Trump and Xi prepare for broad Beijing talksThe agenda spans Iran, Taiwan, trade, nuclear issues, agriculture, energy, Boeing purchases, and rare earths; the meeting could reset several major policy channels at once.

Russia–Ukraine ceasefire reaches its final dayA U.S.-brokered three-day pause runs through today with a planned 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner swap; Reuters says civilians welcomed the break while Moscow warned a full peace deal remains distant.

Around Montréal

Best close walk: Mount Royal / Jeanne-ManceGo in the morning if possible. It matches the dry window and stays close to the Plateau/Mile End orbit.

Indoor culture backup: Les sommets du cinéma d’animationThe animation festival begins today at Cinémathèque québécoise and runs through Saturday; keep it in mind if showers arrive.

Museum option: Richard Avedon at the MMFARichard Avedon: Immortal is on at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts through August 9. Good for a calm gallery block if the afternoon is wet.
