Strong winds are expected for London, Ontario. all monday: Environment Canada – London | The Canadian News

The London, Ontario region should prepare for strong winds to kick off the work week, according to Environment Canada.

The national weather agency has issued a special weather statement saying the region will see gusting winds of up to 80 kilometers per hour throughout the day and into Monday night.

Previously, heavy rains were also anticipated to last all day, but, in an update Monday morning, Environment Canada removed portions about the rains from the special weather declaration.

The national weather agency now says wind gusts can be quite weak in the morning before strengthening in the afternoon behind a passing cold front.

Meteorologists say the winds carry the threat of flinging loose objects, damaging weak buildings and breaking tree limbs. The winds should calm down Tuesday morning.

London is forecast to see a high of 10 C on Monday, dropping to -1 C in the afternoon, with an overnight low of -9 C, feeling like -15 with the wind chill. Winds of 20 kilometers per hour with gusts of up to 60 kilometers per hour are expected to strengthen to 40 kilometers per hour, with gusts of 70 kilometers per hour in the afternoon.

There is also the possibility of rain or flurries during the day, and the type of precipitation depends on the temperature.

A mixture of sun and clouds is expected on Tuesday with a high of -6 C and an overnight low of -8 C.
