As of Saturday morning, heat warnings blanketed all of southern Manitoba, part of the Interlake, and west of Lake Manitoba up to Red Deer Lake.
Temperatures are expected to be in the low to mid thirties across the region.
Environment Canada says everyone is at risk from the heat, but children, older adults, those with chronic illnesses, and people living alone are at particularly high risk.
