Calgary weather: Brief break in the heat coming on Thursday

Calgary will get a brief break from the heat on Thursday with a high of 24 C.

There should be a break in the heat coming on Thursday in Calgary, but the day will still be warm with a chance of thunderstorms.

There were some brief showers and a weak thunderstorm in Calgary on Wednesday afternoon.

There is a 30 per cent chance of seeing that again on Thursday afternoon. Most of the day will just be a mix of sun and cloud, with a more reasonable daytime high of 24 C.

The heat will start to build back in on Friday, and it will even get close to a hot 30 C by the weekend with lots of sunshine.

We are at the height of storm season. Here is a photo of a severe storm that intensified outside of Calgary on Wednesday. Thanks to Steve Pierpoint for sharing.
