A look at today’s Edmonton weather by Environment Canada.
It’s getting hot in Edmonton. Like, REALLY hot!
Today’s high of 29 degrees, which will feel more like 30 degrees when you factor in the humidity, will be just an appetizer for the temperatures that are coming.
Looking into the weekend the forecast is calling for highs in the mid-thirties. If that isn’t hot enough the overnight lows don’t go below twenty degrees. I’m not sure I will survive. I may slowly turn into a sad and grumpy puddle.
We’re going to have to get creative to beat this heat. I’m open to any suggestions.
