Temperatures in Calgary maxed out at 21.8°C Tuesday, breaking a heat record set back in 1923.
“That’s more like a mid-July temperature,” Global News meteorologist Paul Dunphy said.
The mercury was still sitting at an unseasonal 17°C by 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Another warm day, around 19°C is forecast for Wednesday, with a possibility of evening showers in the Calgary area.
“The ridge rebounds nice and sharply for Thursday and into Friday as well. Daytime high temperatures are still going to be above the seasonal average, which right now is four degrees.”
Alberta’s capital city, meanwhile, shattered its 87-year-old heat record Tuesday. Edmonton saw a 19.5°C high, surpassing the previous record of 17.8°C set in 1929.
