Ontarians Endure Prolonged Deep Freeze as Winter Intensifies
Ontario is currently experiencing a severe cold snap, with extreme temperatures forecasted across the province. Cold weather warnings remain active for many communities, extending from Windsor in the south to Ottawa in the east and reaching as far north as Kapuskasing.
Cold Weather Alerts Across Ontario
Environment Canada has issued yellow alert cold warnings, indicating that residents should prepare for significant chilling conditions. This morning, wind chill values in some areas could plummet between -30°C and -40°C, particularly in Northern Ontario.
Prolonged Cold Conditions
Residents in southern Ontario, particularly in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and Ottawa, will experience wind chills as low as -30°C. These harsh conditions are expected to persist through Sunday evening and into Monday morning.
Current Temperature Reports
- Wind chill in Ottawa reached -34°C.

While Ontario faces these frigid temperatures, much of Western Canada enjoys unseasonably warm weather. Daily temperature records have been broken in both Alberta and British Columbia, highlighting the stark contrast across the country.
As Ontarians endure this prolonged deep freeze, it remains crucial to stay informed about weather updates and necessary precautions during this intense winter period.
