Edmonton is forecast to see its hottest temperatures so far this year

Grab your sunglasses and arrange the patio furniture because Edmonton is about to be treated to some of the warmest temperatures so far this year.

For much of the workweek, Edmonton is looking to endure below-average temperatures, sitting at a high of 13°C today and 12°C tomorrow, with showers and periods of rain today and tomorrow.
