ORANGE WARNING - COLD

Impact Level: High

Forecast Confidence: High


A multi-day episode of very cold wind chills continues. What: Wind chill values of minus 40 to minus 45. When: Continuing through the weekend. Additional information: Little relief is expected during the day as an Arctic airmass has established itself over the region and will remain in place through the weekend. Extreme cold puts everyone at risk. Risks are greater for young children, older adults, people with chronic illnesses, people working or exercising outdoors, and those without proper shelter. Watch for cold related symptoms: shortness of breath, chest pain, muscle pain and weakness, numbness and colour change in fingers and toes. Cover up. Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill. Keep emergency supplies in your vehicle such as extra blankets and jumper cables. If it’s too cold for you to stay outside, it’s too cold for your pet to stay outside. Watch for colour changes on fingers and toes, pain, numbness, a tingling sensation, or swelling. If present, move indoors and begin warming. Outdoor workers should take regularly scheduled breaks to warm up. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #ONStorm. For more information about the alerting program, please visit: Colour-coded Weather Alerts.
