Residents in the Greater Toronto Area are in for another chilly weekend with warnings issued for risk of frostbite, according to Environment Canada. The national weather agency issued a yellow weather alert Saturday morning for wind chills of -25 to -30 for Saturday morning. Those frigid temperatures are expected to come back again Saturday night and stick around until Sunday morning. However, there will be some sunny breaks on Saturday with a high of -11 C that will feel like -19 C in the afternoon.
Wind chill is a measure of how quickly bodies lose heat when you combine low temperatures with high winds. And wind chill conditions can be dangerous. "The stronger the winds [and] the colder it is, the more likely you are to develop frostbite in a short amount of time or hypothermia," says Jessica Lee of the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center.
Torontonians are being told to bundle up and brace for frigid temperatures Thursday night now that the city has been placed under a yellow cold warning. Wind chill values will make it feel like 30 to 35 Thursday night into early Friday morning, Environment Canada said in the warning. "Cover up," the federal weather agency said. "Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill."
