Calgary forecast to see hottest day of year so far then a BIG temperature drop

Get those sunnies out, Calgary. The hottest temps of the year so far are set to hug our city before a big temperature drop arrives shortly after.

We can’t forget about how gorgeous Friday will be too, at 26°C, and you better get out and enjoy the warmth while it lasts. On Saturday evening, the temperature takes a wild swing here in Calgary, dropping to 4°C.

Sunday isn’t looking too cute with a 60 per cent chance of showers, high of 16°C and low of 3°C; however, temperatures rebound as we start a fresh workweek and get as high as 25°C on Tuesday.
