Calgary is in for a warm weekend as temperatures are expected to rise in the coming days. According to weather experts, the city will experience a significant increase in temperature, providing a much-needed break from the recent cold weather.
The rise in temperature is due to a high-pressure system moving into the area, bringing with it clear skies and sunshine. This will result in daytime highs reaching the mid-teens, which is above the seasonal average for this time of year.
Residents can expect to see a gradual increase in temperature throughout the weekend, with Saturday reaching a high of 12°C and Sunday reaching a high of 15°C. The warm weather is expected to continue into the beginning of next week, with temperatures remaining in the double digits.
While this may be a welcome change for many, it is important to note that the warm weather may also bring some challenges. The sudden increase in temperature can cause melting snow and ice, leading to potential flooding in low-lying areas. Residents are advised to take precautions and monitor their surroundings for any potential hazards.
Additionally, with the warmer weather comes an increased risk of wildfires. The Calgary Fire Department is reminding residents to be cautious when using fire pits or barbecues and to properly dispose of cigarette butts to prevent any potential fires.
Despite these potential challenges, the warm weather is a welcome change for many Calgarians who have been enduring a long and cold winter. It is a great opportunity to get outside and enjoy some outdoor activities while following all necessary COVID-19 safety protocols.
So, get ready to put away your winter gear and embrace the warmer temperatures this weekend. But don’t forget to stay safe and be mindful of any potential hazards that may come with the change in weather.
