Environment Canada said hot and humid weather will affect areas like Nipawin, Humboldt, Regina, Weyburn, Estevan and Moosomin.
“A hot and humid air mass is bringing daytime highs in the low thirties and overnight lows in the upper teens or low twenties to parts of the Prairies,” read the warning.

Residents are being warned to watch for signs of heat illness, which include:
