Arctic air mass keeping temperatures below seasonal levels this week
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Below seasonal temperatures are expected to continue in Medicine Hat for at least the next week.
“An Arctic air mass slumped over the prairies later last week, and it pretty much sits over the prairies for the rest of this week,” said Chris Wielki, meteorologist with Environment Canada, over the phone from Edmonton. “(There’s) maybe some signs of it warming up next week.”
Wielki says at this time of the year, the normal high in Medicine Hat is approximately 11 degrees Celcius.
The cold temperatures across Alberta resulted in several records being broken around the province.
