This is the best summary I could come up with:


A blistering heat wave is moving across Western Canada, pushing record temperatures and the threat of wildfires into Saskatchewan on Tuesday.

Environment Canada meteorologist Jennifer Smith says a ridge of high pressure from Northern California crept into British Columbia on the weekend before invading the Northwest Territories and Alberta on Monday.

Smith says the heat will travel into Manitoba by Wednesday and may reach the edge of the northwestern Ontario border before it moves south into the United States again.

Smith says they're watching for things that lead to wildfires: hot and dry conditions, wind and lightning without rain — something that is in the forecast already for parts of B.C.

Meanwhile, heavy rainfall is expected in areas of southern Ontario and Quebec as Environment Canada issued special weather statements warning that remnants of hurricane Beryl could cause downpours of 20 to 40 mm of rain per hour at times starting Tuesday night or Wednesday.

"If you witness someone with complete or partial loss of consciousness, who is confused, has a high body temperature or has stopped sweating, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately," he said.
