Medicine Hat is a city of 63,000 people (2023) in the Alberta Badlands region of Alberta.
It's commonly called the Gas City thanks to its vast reserves of natural gas. Rudyard Kipling famously described it as the city with "all hell for a basem*nt".
Medicine Hat isn't a large metropolis, and downtown Medicine Hat does not offer megastores with an excellent variety at excellent prices. However, you'll find it to be funky, hip and small-town sincere.

The city's name comes from the word Saamis, which is a local word that means Medicine Man's Hat.According to the 1983 centennial song "Hats Off to 100 Years!":
- In eighteen-eighty-three and the Blackfoot fought the Cree
- in a battle raging on near the South Saskatchewan.
- In a ritual of defeat and the Medicine Man fell to the ground
- and laid his feathered headdress down as a legend for our town.
How is the Climate in Medicine Hat
Medicine Hat experiences a semi-arid climate, and is one of the driest cities in Canada.

Summer (June through August) is typically hot and dry, often without a single cloud in the sky. However, thunderstorms often interrupt the bright, sunny weather late in the afternoon, and there are always a few days (particularly in June) with heavily overcast skies in which the temperature only reaches the mid teens °Celsius. Autumn (September and October) is short and generally mild, though September can bring scorching temperatures in the mid 30s °Celsius, and sin October is usual. The season typically brings sunny and warm to cool days and cool, sometimes cold nights.
