It can get very hot here in southern Canada in the summer time but one of the nice things is that it almost always cools down at night. I live straight north of the Montana/ North Dakota state line and am about 30 miles north of the Canada/US border and we have a lot of summer temps of 85-95 F with an occasional heat wave that pushes the temps above 100F but that is not very often. We don't normally get much humidity with the heat, however, we have seemed to have more if it in recent years. I am thinking our weather is changing a little and we are getting more weather in summer like the northern Midwest states. I think it would be a little cooler out in Alberta where okotoks lives, in the summer, than it is here.
On average Regina is 6 deg F warmer than Calgary in July but 13 deg F colder in January. I don't think we are anywhere near average this year!
