Hot, hot, hot: Edmonton forecast to see a 24°C temperature change soon

An average spring for Edmonton may have felt cooler than usual to some; however, a big blast of heat is forecast to be on the way for the city, bringing with it a decent temperature swing, too.

According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), Edmonton is forecast to see chillier temperatures to start the work week. Today’s high will be below average at 12°C, with a chance of showers. The temperature will then dip briskly to an overnight low of 4°C tonight.

Tomorrow, expect plenty of sunshine in YEG, with a daytime high of 15°C and an overnight low of 6°C.

Looking ahead to the end of the work week, a gradual warmup is on the way, with daytime highs reaching 19°C on Wednesday, followed by 22°C on Thursday and a stunning 24°C on Friday.
