The record high for this day is 27.8 C set back in 1931, and although we won’t break any records in Calgary on Sunday, we could come close by Tuesday.

Calgary’s 7-day forecast calls for more hot temperatures, with a bit of relief by Wednesday night and Thursday. WSI

Monday’s forecast high is 27 C, while the record high is 31.7 C set back in 1924.

However, on Tuesday, the temperatures could reach 29 C, and that will be just shy of the record high of 30.6 C, which was also set in 1924.

The balmy summer-like weather will last until mid-week, but a disturbance will push into southern Alberta bringing cool and wet weather by Wednesday night into Thursday.

The average high for this time of the year is 16.0 C.
