Residents of Rocky Mountain House can look forward to a week of sunshine and warm weather, with no alerts in effect and temperatures set to climb above seasonal norms.
According to Environment Canada, daytime highs will range from 24°C on Monday, July 13, to 29°C by Sunday. The overnight lows will sit around 8°C to 13°C, meaning evenings will stay mild for outdoor plans.
The UV index will reach 7, or high, on Monday and Tuesday. That means anyone spending time outside should wear sunscreen, a hat, and try to find shade during the midday hours when the sun is strongest.
While the outlook is mostly clear, there is a 30 percent chance of showers and a risk of thunderstorms on Monday and Tuesday afternoons, with a chance of showers also on Wednesday and Saturday. So far, Environment Canada has not issued any watches or warnings for the area.
For those looking to take advantage of the good weather, the Canada Strong Pass is offering free admission to the Rocky Mountain House National Historic Site until September 7, along with discounts on camping and overnight stays.
