Heat warnings remain in effect for much of eastern Saskatchewan on Tuesday with highs into the 30s and humidex values approaching the 40 degree mark.
Environment Canada says a hot and humid air mass continues to bring daytime highs into the low 30s with overnight lows in the upper teens or low 20s.
Temperatures are expected to moderate on Wednesday, according to Environment Canada.
