Daily heat records continue to be broken across Alberta

Calgary weather, June 29

CALGARY -

The heat pushes temperatures even higher this week. Jasper, Hendrickson Creek, and Grande Prairie have broken their all time highs two days in a row.

Calgary could also get close to, if not exceed, its record high of 36.5 C Wednesday and Thursday.

Air quality deteriorates Tuesday as the heat traps pollutants at the surface. People with lung or heart disease are at high risk especially toward Tuesday evening when air quality is expected to be at its worst. By the end of the week, temperatures drop off slightly but remain significantly warmer than normal into the following week.

Here's the five day forecast:

Tuesday:

  • Sunny, UV index 11
  • Daytime high: 35 C
  • Overnight: Partly cloudy, warm night, 18 C

Wednesday:

  • Sunny
  • Daytime high: 35 C
  • Overnight: Clear, 19 C

Thursday:

  • Sunny
  • Daytime high: 36 C
  • Overnight: Partly cloudy, chance of thundershowers, 20 C

Friday:

  • Mostly sunny
  • Daytime high: 30°C
  • Overnight: Partly cloudy, chance of thundershowers, 17 C

Saturday:

  • Sun and cloudy mix
  • Daytime high: 27 C
  • Overnight: Risk of scattered thunderstorms, 15 C

Do these exercises for core strength if you can't stomach doing planks

Planks are one of the most effective exercises for strengthening your midsection, as they target all of your major core muscles: the transverse abdominis, rectus abdominis, external obliques and internal obliques. Yet despite the popularity of various 10-minute plank challenges, planking is actually one of the most dreaded core exercises, according to many fitness experts.
