How this is worked out
Wind chill is computed with Environment Canada’s wind chill formula from the hourly temperature and wind in the forecast — an area weather model, not a thermometer at your door. Real wind chill changes street by street with shelter, and frostbite times are for bare skin; wet skin, bare hands and a hard wind speed it up.
This is not an official cold warning
Extreme cold warnings come from Environment Canada, not this page. Check the official forecast and warnings below before you head out, especially on the land.
At a frostbite-risk wind chill, cover cheeks, nose, ears and hands — these freeze first. Mitts keep little hands warmer than gloves.
If it's freezing your skin in minutes, it is hard on paws too. Keep it short, and watch for a lifted paw or limping.
Tell someone your route and when you'll be back, carry what you'd need if you had to stop moving, and remember bare metal and a hard wind speed frostbite up. Polar-bear season changes the plan too — check the alert line.
Churchill's winters are long and fierce: a wind chill near -58 was recorded in February 2018, and the coldest air temperature on record is about -45.6 (1942). Block heaters, layered clothing and a plan are part of normal life here.
