Bracing for the Big Chill: Ontario Faces Extreme Cold Warnings

 

As Ontario grapples with a severe cold snap, extreme cold warnings have been issued across the province, with wind chill values plummeting to around -40°C in many areas. The frigid temperatures are expected to persist until Wednesday, posing significant risks to residents.

Vulnerable populations, including the elderly and homeless, are particularly at risk, and warming centres have been opened in various communities to provide relief.
