A Cold Morning, But Change is on the Horizon
Wawa starts March with a frigid -26°C, but a warm-up is coming. Expect flurries today, snow Monday, and above-freezing temperatures midweek
Wawa wakes up to a bitter -25.9°C this morning, making for a truly frosty start. With humidity at 77% and calm winds, at least there’s no additional wind chill factor—though it’s still cold enough to make you reconsider stepping outside. The barometric pressure is at 102.4 kPa and rising, signaling stable but chilly weather. Visibility remains 24 km, so while it’s cold, at least it’s clear.
Sunday: Flurries Incoming, But a Slight Warm-Up
Today will see increasing cloudiness with a few flurries beginning early this afternoon. Winds stay light, at up to 15 km/h, allowing the high to reach -6°C. The wind chill will make it feel like -29°C this morning and -9°C in the afternoon, so frostbite remains a concern. The UV index is 2 (low), but with fresh snow on the ground, sunglasses won’t hurt.
Tonight, flurries will persist, bringing a local snowfall of 2 cm. Winds will remain light at up to 15 km/h, with the temperature holding at -6°C and a wind chill of -10°C.
Monday: A Slight Thaw with Sun Breaks
Monday morning will bring periods of light snow, tapering off by noon, followed by a mix of sun and clouds. Winds will shift to the southwest at 20 km/h, gusting to 40 km/h, helping temperatures climb to 1°C—a welcome break from the deep freeze. However, the morning will still feel like -9°C with the wind chill.
Monday night sees cloudy periods with a low of -7°C.
Tuesday & Beyond: A Mix of Snow & Warmer Days
Tuesday will stay cloudy with a high of 1°C, before periods of snow return overnight, bringing a low of -7°C. Wednesday continues the snowy pattern, with periods of snow and a high of -5°C, followed by a cold night at -17°C with more snowfall.
Wardrobe Advice: From Full Winter Gear to Waterproof Layers
For today, bundle up with thermal layers, a heavy winter coat, gloves, and a hat—frostbite is a real risk this morning. By Monday afternoon, a lighter winter coat might be enough, and by Tuesday, waterproof boots and a good jacket will come in handy as temperatures warm and precipitation turns messy.
