Extremely cold wind chill values between minus 40 and minus 45 continue.
Wind chill values will moderate somewhat during the day but extreme cold is expected to return tonight for some regions.
Conditions will moderate Wednesday afternoon.
Extreme cold puts everyone at risk.
Risks are greater for young children, older adults, people with chronic illnesses, people working or exercising outdoors, and those without proper shelter.
Dress warmly. Dress in layers that you can remove if you get too warm. The outer layer should be wind resistant.
Cover up. Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill.
If it’s too cold for you to stay outside, it’s too cold for your pet to stay outside.
Edmonton is bracing for another day of extreme cold with sunny skies offering little comfort against the bone-chilling wind and frostbite risk. The wind chill is so severe today that even brief exposure could lead to frostbite in minutes. While the harsh conditions will persist through Wednesday, the weather gods are showing mercy with a warmer trend arriving by the weekend. Enjoy the sun while it lasts—relief is coming, and it’s looking positively spring-like!
