Things are heating up around Saskatchewan this week and throughout the weekend. 

A heat wave of sorts has moved in as the calendar gets ready to flip to June. The seven-day forecast sees temperatures climbing to right around the 30° mark. 

"We do have a big upper-ridge of high-pressure that has moved over the area. That's what is bringing in this hot weather and it looks like it's going to be with us for a while," Regional Meteorologist Terri Lang with Environment Canada explained. 

Average daytime highs for this time of year are 21° with overnight lows around 8°. The next seven days, and possibly beyond, will see temperatures soaring well above the seasonal average. 

The downside for some, such as producers in the province, is the heat is only going to make the existing dry conditions that much worse. Unfortunately for farmers, it doesn't look like a substantial rainfall is on the way. 

"Over the weekend we might see some scattered showers or thundershowers move through the area. Of course, that's a hit and miss type of thing. We just don't see any big rainmakers coming along," Lang noted. 

While the forecasters have called for rain recently and been wrong, perhaps they will once again misdiagnose the precipitation situation in the near future.
