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.

Environment Canada has highlighted the dangers of such extreme cold, warning that frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin. The agency advises people to limit their time outdoors, dress in layers, and cover all exposed skin. Vulnerable populations, including the elderly and homeless, are particularly at risk, and warming centres have been opened in various communities to provide relief.
