Montreal experiences a significant urban heat island (UHI) effect, potentially intensified by its dense structure, varied vegetation, and demographic distribution, leading to substantial outdoor thermal discomfort, especially during heatwaves. To quantify this, measured landscape data were analyzed over several months in Montreal, including heatwave periods, comfort was assessed using the humidex, discomfort index, temperature–humidity index. The results indicated notable temperature humidity variations across city, with exceedance of index thresholds being significantly higher heatwaves (humidex: 10.83%, index: 53.33%, 24.77%, 36.67%) compared normal periods. This study provides quantitative evaluation UHI-induced emphasizing severity analyzing influence density, anthropogenic emissions, thus offering valuable insights for planning strategies mitigate public health impacts.
