Environment Canada issued an extreme cold alert on Thursday for northwest central Saskatchewan : “A period of very cold wind chills is expected.”
According to the alert, overnight lows are expected to drop near -32 degrees Celsius. Combined with light southeasterly winds, this will create extreme wind chill values that could fall below -40 degrees Celsius early on Friday morning.
To prepare for the biting cold, Environment Canada recommends dressing warmly, particularly in layers, pointing out that the outer layer should also be wind-resistant for added protection.
They also noted the importance of knowing that frostbite can develop on exposed skin within minutes. If it’s too cold for people to stay outside, it’s also too cold for pets. Additionally, outdoor workers are advised to take regular breaks to warm up.
