It’s going to be a hot Labour Day Weekend in Saskatchewan.
Heat warnings have been issued by Environment Canada for most of the province including the central part of Saskatchewan which has warnings stretching from the Alberta border to the Manitoba border.
Saskatoon, Prince Albert, North Battleford, Meadow Lake, Melfort, Kindersley and Swift Current are just some of the communities under the heat warning blanket as of Saturday morning.
The weather office says temperatures reaching 34 degrees Celsius combined with overnight lows near 16 degrees Celsius are expected.
Daytime high temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius, combined with overnight lows in the teens, will persist into early next week.

Extreme heat affects everyone.
The risks are greater for young children, pregnant women, older adults, people with chronic illnesses and people working or exercising outdoors.
Drink plenty of water even before you feel thirsty and stay in a cool place.
Reduce your heat risk. Schedule outdoor activities during the coolest parts of the day.
Never leave people or pets inside a parked vehicle.
Watch for the symptoms of heat illness: dizziness/fainting; nausea/vomiting; rapid breathing and heartbeat; extreme thirst; decreased urination with unusually dark urine.
Heat warnings are issued when very high temperature or humidity conditions are expected to pose an elevated risk of heat illnesses, such as heat stroke or heat exhaustion.
