REGINA – After days of intense summer heat last week, Regina is set to enjoy a picture-perfect Prairie weekend with comfortable temperatures, plenty of sunshine and only a slight chance of showers.
Friday will be the standout day, with morning clouds giving way to sunshine and a pleasant high of 23 C. Saturday warms up slightly to 24 C with mostly sunny skies after the chance of a passing morning shower, making it another excellent day to get outdoors. Sunday cools back to 21 C with a mix of sun and cloud and the possibility of a couple of afternoon showers, but it should still be comfortable for most outdoor plans.
Whether you're spending the weekend at the lake, exploring Wascana Centre, visiting a local farmers' market, or firing up the barbecue, the forecast is shaping up well for August in Saskatchewan. Overnight lows between 8 and 11 C will also provide cool, comfortable evenings that are perfect for camping or relaxing outside.
While the extreme heat has eased, the August sun is still strong, so sunscreen, plenty of water and light clothing remain good ideas for anyone planning to spend time outdoors. It's another reminder of why Saskatchewan summers are so special, with warm days, cool nights and plenty of opportunities to enjoy everything the Prairies have to offer.
