HUMBOLDT — A period of extraordinary cold for southern Saskatchewan is expected for the rest of the year.

An extremely cold arctic airmass remains entrenched over southern Saskatchewan with windchills of -40 to -45 Tuesday morning. Although windchills will moderate throughout the day, the extreme windchills will return again tonight.

Unusually cold weather will persist through the rest of the week.

Environment Canada advises the public to dress warmly. Dress in layers that you can remove if you get too warm. The outer layer should be wind resistant.

Cover up. Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill. Keep emergency supplies in your vehicle such as extra blankets and jumper cables. And remember, if it's too cold for you to stay outside, it's too cold for your pet to stay outside.

Extreme cold warnings are issued when very cold temperatures or wind chill creates an elevated risk to health such as frostbite and hypothermia.

The extreme cold warning is still in effect for much of the province.
