Hamilton is under yet another extreme cold warning as temperatures Thursday morning are set to be below –20 C with wind chill values plummeting to below –30.
The deep drop in temperatures was set to arrive overnight Wednesday and stay with us for most of Thursday.
"Little improvement is expected through the day on Thursday, with daytime highs only a few degrees higher than the overnight low temperatures, and winds forecast to become increasingly gusty," Environment Canada said in a weather warning.
"Very cold wind chill values are likely to persist through Friday, then improve somewhat on Saturday."
Extreme cold warnings are issued when temperatures or wind chill heightens the risk of frostbite and hypothermia.
Environment Canada warns that outside activities require more caution than usual while the alert is in effect. "Frostbite on exposed skin may occur in just a few minutes," the forecaster warned.
Pay extra attention if you or your family members experience any of these symptoms, Environment Canada says:
- Respiratory: shortness of breath, wheezing and cough
- Cardiovascular: chest pain and arrhythmias
- Circulation: colour change of finger and toes, pain, numbness and tickling sensation in extremities
- Muscle: pain, stiffness, swelling, restricted movement, weakness
- Skin: itching, pale.
Get inside to warm up if you experience any of these.
