Just a week after a scorching heat wave engulfed Alberta, Environment Canada has again issued heat warnings for northern Alberta and parts of central Alberta. The latest period of high temperatures looks to be milder than the historic heat wave last week, but it still comes with an elevated risk of heat-related illness. Environment Canada says temperatures reaching 29 C, combined with overnight lows near 14 C, are expected for the next three days. Temperatures are expected to cool by the end of the weekend. "Pay particular attention to individuals that can experience earlier or more severe effects from heat including infants, children, seniors, and individuals with pre-existing lung, heart, kidney, nervous system, mental health or diabetic conditions, outdoor workers, as well as those who are socially isolated," the heat warning says.
