WATCH: Canada has seen a swath of heat warnings in the past week, warnings of elevated risks for heat-related illnesses, and lowered air quality.

Environment Canada first issued the heat warning for Calgary and Rocky View County on Saturday, saying daytime highs during the weekend were expected to reach 30 C with overnight temperatures of 14 C.

At the time, temperatures were forecast to cool down on Monday.
