Toronto under extreme cold warning as temperatures will drop as low as -30 with wind cold – Toronto | The Canadian News

Environment Canada has put the city of Toronto under an extremely cold warning with temperatures expected to drop this weekend.

The weather agency said Friday night was expected to be as cold as -21 C with a wind chill of -30 in the overnight hours.

On Saturday it is expected to feel like -28 with the wind cold in the morning and -13 with the wind cold in the afternoon.

It also warns there is a risk of freezing for residents.

“Extreme cold puts everyone at risk,” Environment Canada said. “Close. Freezing bites can develop on exposed skin within minutes, especially with cold winds.”

“Watch for cold-related symptoms: shortness of breath, chest pain, muscle aches and weakness, numbness and discoloration in fingers and toes.”

Conditions are expected to improve by Sunday with a high of -7 C

For most of January in Toronto, there were several warnings for extreme cold weather with temperatures well below zero for most of the month.
