WINNIPEG Environment Canada has issued an extreme cold warning for parts of Manitoba on Monday, Jan. 25. According to the weather agency, Manitobans should expect a period of “very cold wind chills.” Environment Canada said an Arctic ridge of high pressure is bringing “frigid” temperatures to parts of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. This means the province will see temperatures in the minus thirties, as well as winds of 10 to 15 km/h. The weather agency added that this will create extremely cold windchills of -40 or even colder. Environment Canada noted that temperatures are expected to moderate slightly on Monday morning, but the extreme cold will come back to some areas on Monday evening into Tuesday.
An extreme cold warning is still in effect for part of western Manitoba, the Interlake region and part of eastern Manitoba and is expected to linger and come to the Winnipeg area during the week.
