For the next couple of days, Manitobans will need to be aware of hot daytime temperatures.
Dr. Brent Roussin, Manitoba's Chief Public Health Officer, is asking people to be cautious as temperatures are expected to reach around 30 degrees during the day.
"Heat can have some serious health impacts (one) physical health, mental wellbeing, and cognitive ability," Roussin says. "Ensure that you are taking care of yourself and others."
He is cautioning older adults, those with chronic illnesses, and parents of infants to be cautious.
The southern half of Manitoba, including Winnipeg, will be impacted.
This is the first warm spell of the season, but not a heatwave. In the northern quarter of the province, there is a snow storm warning.
The heatwave is set to end with several days of rain, starting on Thursday as a cold front is moving through the province. Cooler temperatures and thunderstorms are expected to last until Saturday evening.
