Environment Canada has issued a heat warning for most of the province including southern Alberta.
In Okotoks, temperatures are expected to hit 26 C on Sunday, July 7 with highs of 31 C on July 8-9 and reaching 34 C on July 10.
Across most of the province, extremely hot temperatures of 30 to 35 degrees C combined with overnight lows of 14 degrees Celsius or greater are expected until at least mid week.
Daytime highs will be near 30 degrees today, and will gradually increase to near 35 degrees Celsius by Wednesday for many regions of Alberta. Overnight lows in the mid teens will not provide much relief from the heat.
Heat warnings are issued when very high temperature conditions are expected to pose an elevated risk of heat illnesses, such as heat stroke or heat exhaustion.
