Toronto's Weather Set To Dip Down To -35 C This Weekend & More Snow Is On The Way

Who else wants to stay inside? 🥶❄️

The wintry temperatures continue, as Toronto's forecast is calling for some bone-chilling weather starting this weekend.

Environment Canada has already issued an extreme cold warning for the 6ix, as biting cold winds are expected to blow through the city tonight into Saturday morning.

The wind will bring the temperature down to between -30 to -35, so be sure to throw on some extra layers.

The weather advisory warns Torontonians that extreme temperatures like these increase the chance of getting frostbite and hypothermia, so watch out for any cold-related symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, any kind of muscle pain or weakness, numbness, and colour change in your fingers or toes.

The Weather Network is forecasting a "breeding ground" for messy storms in Ontario for the first few days of February.

In its forecast for next week, TWN says that mild weather will surge into Ontario, with temperatures well above freezing. However, this won't last.

Arctic air from the Prairies will push its way east into Ontario. Southern and eastern parts of the province will then become "the battleground between the warm air and the Arctic air."

So, what does this mean for Toronto next week?

Snow is predicted in the 6ix starting Wednesday, February 2, with about 5 centimetres expected. TWN predicts Toronto could then see another 10-15 centimetres of snow on Thursday, February 3.
