Calgary, AB – As the city of Calgary prepares for the weekend, residents can expect a slight reprieve from the cold temperatures that have been lingering in the area. According to weather experts, the overnight temperatures will remain chilly, but the weekend is expected to bring warmer weather.
The city has been experiencing below-average temperatures for this time of year, with overnight lows reaching as low as -20 degrees Celsius. However, the forecast for the weekend shows a slight increase in temperatures, with highs reaching -5 degrees Celsius on Saturday and -3 degrees Celsius on Sunday.
This change in weather can be attributed to a high-pressure system moving into the area, bringing with it warmer air from the south. This system is expected to stick around for the next few days, providing a brief break from the frigid temperatures.
Despite the warmer weather, residents are reminded to still bundle up and take precautions when heading outdoors. The city’s emergency management agency has issued a reminder to dress in layers, cover exposed skin, and limit time spent outside to avoid frostbite and hypothermia.
In addition to the warmer temperatures, the weekend is also expected to bring some sunshine to the city. After days of cloudy skies, the sun is expected to make an appearance, providing some much-needed vitamin D for residents.
As for the upcoming week, temperatures are expected to remain relatively mild, with highs reaching -2 degrees Celsius and lows hovering around -10 degrees Celsius. However, weather experts warn that this reprieve may be short-lived, as another cold front is expected to move into the area by mid-week.
In the meantime, residents can enjoy the warmer weather and take advantage of outdoor activities before the cold returns. Stay tuned for further updates on the weather forecast and remember to stay safe and warm during these winter months.
