Wind chill days. (home, stats, airport)

[mikmaq32]

So canadian winter is coming it would seem fitting to have a thread on the cold.

After doing some looking up I found an interesting and useful statistic on the cold in canada.

Which is the number of days when the wind chill reaches below a certain threshold.

I checked for st johns and it says we have 5-6 days per year below minus 20, hardly cold at least according to occupational health and safety.

My home town in the province has 27 .


Toronto apparently has zero

So whats yours.

I find this very difficult to believe. I monitor weather reports from across the country and I am certain there are at least a few days during the winter where the wind chill gets below -20 there. Not tons, but at least a couple a winter for sure.

I'm not sure I looked it up a couple of days ago to be honest.

This link is kind of interesting, regarding at what temperature windchill warnings come into effect in different parts of the country

Hopefully you can find the link again, Mikmaq - it would be interesting to compare places

It's on the same site it's listed under the temperature stats for each city.

The worst wind chill I ever experienced in Canada was in Ottawa. I tried to pull up the windchill stats for Ottawa but it comes up as "data unavailable for this station".
