Environment Canada has issued extreme cold warnings for parts of southern and central Saskatchewan, including Regina and Saskatoon, as wind chill values hit -40 C or - 50 C.
According to Environment Canada, a “period of extreme cold” will continue through the week before moderating on the weekend.
Temperatures are expected to be well-below normal for the remainder of the week.
On Tuesday, daytime highs for the week were forecasted to be below -20 C. The normal daytime high in Regina this time of year is about -9 C.
