Calgary could see heat warnings this week
AFTERNOON UPDATE: A few cranks toward even warmer temperatures. And that's it. Drink plenty of water, know the signs of heat exhaustion, and make the most of this warm streak while it's here.
MORNING EDITION: Shorter weather articles usually mean fairer conditions; true!
After a few days in a row of stormy weather – or the potential thereof – most of Alberta sets into calmer straits for a couple of days.
There is potential by the midweek for Calgary to get to a heat warning, and for Stampede-goers, it's prudent to refresh oneself regarding heat stress. While the idea might sound a bit silly, we've been above 26 C in Calgary just once so far in 2022, and we're about to reach or exceed that mark five (or more) days in a row.
Why only potential for a heat warning? The criteria require highs above 29 C and lows above 14 C; daytime heating and overnight cooling will come awful close to these markers more than once.
It should go without saying, but here it is again:
Should you encounter a pet in a hot vehicle, reach out to the Calgary Humane Society at 403-205-4455. If they are overburdened with such calls and cannot get an officer there within 20 minutes, they will defer to the Calgary Police Service.
