EDMONTON — It's like a heat wave in almost every part of Alberta and some areas of northwestern Saskatchewan, as meteorologists predict temperatures to reach highs into the mid-30s.
Environment Canada says the warnings in Alberta span from the most northern parts of the province in High Level, to areas near the Canada-U.S. border.
Weather alerts say people can expect daytime temperatures ranging between 29 and 33 degrees Celsius, with overnight lows between 10 and 16 C.
In Saskatchewan, areas such as Beauval, La Ronge and Weyakwin could see daytime highs near 30 C.
The heat comes in the midst of a summer that has seen much of the Prairies, especially in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, battle with wildfires that at one time forced thousands from their homes.
The weather office expects the heat wave in both provinces to end early next week.
