An Extreme Cold Weather Alert has been issued by the Halton Region Health Department beginning the evening of Saturday, March 15. This alert is issued when temperatures are expected to fall below -15 degrees Celsius (without wind-chill), or when weather conditions are severe enough to warrant alerting the community to the risks involved with prolonged exposure.
The alert is intended to inform the general public and community agencies and recommend precautions. This alert is in effect until temperatures rise above –15 degrees Celsius (without wind-chill) or weather conditions improve and the risks involved with prolonged exposure are reduced.
Additional information, weather forecasts and wind-chill information can be obtained from the Environment Canada website. For further information on extreme cold, please contact Halton Region by dialing 311 or visit http://www.halton.ca/.
