Cold Weather Alert Expanded to South Durham

A Cold Weather Alert was issued yesterday for North Durham, that remains in effect. 
Based on information from Environment and Climate Change Canada, Durham Region Health Department is expanding the Cold Weather Alert for South weather zone that will be in effect overnight tonight into tomorrow morning.

Cold Weather Alerts are issued when the temperature is forecasted to reach -15 degrees Celsius or colder, and/or when the wind chill is forecasted to reach -20 or colder, and when weather conditions are severe enough to warrant alerting the community to the risks involved with prolonged exposure. Wind chill is when the wind makes cold temperatures feel even colder. Cold temperatures can also be hazardous, even if there is little or no wind.
