Warning for up to 10 days of heat wave in Calgary

 

Calgary is back under a heat warning after a brief respite from the sweltering heat. Meteorologists said the heat warning will last for another week. Environment Canada has issued a severe heat warning and said the extreme heat is expected to last up to ten days. Northern Alberta and much of Southern Alberta, including Calgary, are being warned that temperatures will reach 36 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, air quality warnings have been issued in northern Alberta as wildfire smoke spreads.

Environment Canada said the warning is likely to spread to other areas of the province as temperatures rise. Day temperature will be between 28 degree Celsius and 36 degree Celsius. But the night temperature will be around 20 degree Celsius.

Health should be protected as the heat increases. Environment Canada said symptoms such as high body temperature, lack of sweating, fainting and heat stroke should be monitored and a health provider should be sought.
