A look at Wednesday’s Edmonton weather from Environment Canada
It’s 21 C at the Edmonton Blatchford weather station with 4 km/h winds out of the west.
The extreme heat wave continues, and if you thought the last one was bad, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Wednesday will be another scorcher with a high of 34 C, with a teasing 30 per cent chance of showers and thunderstorms for the early evening — but I wouldn’t hold your breath on that one. That chance of showers will continue to taunt us overnight, before Thursday’s clear skies and high of, you guessed it, 34 C.
