Raymond is in for a stretch of hot, sunny weather this week as a high-pressure system settles over the region, according to Environment Canada.
Monday started with a morning temperature of 16.2 C and high humidity at 9:00 a.m., but the day is forecast to reach a sunny high of 25 C with a humidex of 28. The UV index is rated at 8, or very high, prompting a reminder for residents to use sunscreen, wear hats, and seek shade during peak hours.
Tuesday will see mainly cloudy skies, becoming a mix of sun and cloud in the afternoon, with a high of 28 C and another very high UV index of 8. By Thursday and through Saturday, temperatures are expected to peak at 33 C each day, which is about 7 degrees above the average July high of 26 C. No rain is in the forecast for the entire week.
Environment Canada reports no weather alerts for the area. The warm spell is part of a broader pattern across southern Alberta, where heat dome conditions could push some locations into the low to mid-30s this week. Officials note that 2026 is shaping up to be one of the hottest years on record globally, with Alberta experiencing above-normal summer temperatures.
Residents are encouraged to check on vulnerable neighbours, stay hydrated, and never leave children or pets in parked vehicles.
