There is high confidence that peak the heat arrives across the province on Tuesday and Wednesday, ahead a cold front that is in question for Thursday.
Thunderstorm potential pops up across Alberta on Wednesday as a weak trough develops across the foothills, acting as a storm trigger.
By Thursday, that trough will push towards the Saskatchewan border and bring the storm risk eastward as it moves.
The Canadian Red Cross also recommends taking frequent breaks while working outside, wearing a hat while outdoors, and avoiding drinking caffeine and alcohol as they can cause dehydration.
Consider rescheduling outdoor activities to cooler hours of the day.
Spend time in cooled indoor spaces where possible.
Check for your children or pets before you exit your vehicle. Do not leave any person or pet inside a closed vehicle, for any length of time.
Monitor for symptoms of heat stroke or heat exhaustion, such as high body temperature, lack of sweat, confusion, fainting, and unconsciousness.
