After a brief two-day cooldown, a warm-weather front is going to shift back over the southwest this weekend.

Starting today up until, and including, Sunday, daytime highs are expected to reach the low to mid-30s.

"The warm air is going to flow back into the province and the southwest won't be any exception," said John Paul Cragg, Warning Preparedness Meteorologist with Environment Canada. "Saturday thru Sunday is going to be really warm and it will be worth taking some precautions when you're outside."

Research has shown that long periods of hot weather without a significant cool down in the overnight period can exasperate health conditions that can be affected by the heat.

"It's important to drink lots of water, to stay out of the sun, avoid strenuous physical activity, especially if you have a health risk that could be exasperated by the heat," Cragg explained. "If you're feeling the heat or you're feeling uncomfortable because of it, it's important to know where to go to cool down."

Swift Current's warmest temperature this year so far was recorded on Saturday, July 8th with the mercury reaching 35.5 degrees.

Cragg noted the all-time high for July was recorded on July 23, 2007, when it reached 39 degrees in the city.

"Temperatures have been warm, but they haven't been as warm as we (Environment Canada) were worried about," he said.

Swift Current on average sees approximately 15.3 days a year in which the temperature climbs above 30 degrees mark. So far the city has only experienced the temperature above 30, five times this year.
