OTTAWA – Get ready for another week of sub-zero temperatures.
While Environment Canada is calling for plenty of sunshine this week, the temperature will hover between minus 15 and minus 20 degrees Celcius — before the wind chill.
“Just another blast of very cold, arctic air with a north wind,” said 1310 meteorologist Jill Taylor. “Perhaps not as cold as it was with that last polar punch, but we are dealing with below-average temperatures right through to Friday.”
Ottawa Public Health has issued a frostbite advisory starting Monday, Jan. 20 until Friday, Jan 24.
Meantime, a special weather statement calling for heavy snow for the Ottawa area has ended.
