Extreme cold warning issued for Red Deer and area
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has issued an extreme cold warning for the City of Red Deer and surrounding areas.
Extremely cold wind chill values between minus 40 and minus 45 are occurring, although temperatures are expected to moderate somewhat during the day.
The extreme cold is expected to return tonight to some regions, but conditions should moderate by Wednesday afternoon, ECCC says.
Extreme cold puts everyone at risk, but risks are greater for young children, older adults, people with chronic illnesses, people working or exercising outdoors, and those without proper shelter.
