Much of Southern Ontario under significant rainfall warning, Environment Canada says
Environment Canada has issued significant rainfall warnings across much of Southern Ontario, including Toronto and its surrounding areas.
The agency is forecasting up to 35 millimetres of rain in Toronto, Hamilton, Kitchener and other regions, and says London and Windsor could get up to 50 millimetres of rain.
The rain began Sunday morning and was expected to be heavy at times before eventually tapering off later in the day.
Fog advisories are also in effect in Ottawa, Peterborough, Kenora and other regions.
Environment Canada is urging people to stay away from washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts and keep children and pets away from creeks and river banks.
The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority says the combination of rainfall, above-freezing temperatures, frozen ground, ice and snow melt could create dangerous conditions near rivers or other water bodies.
Canada’s Wonderland, a popular amusement park north of Toronto that’s currently hosting Winter Fest activities, says it will be closed Sunday due to inclement weather.
Attention Southern Ontario residents! Environment Canada has issued a significant rainfall warning for much of the region. This means that heavy rain is expected to fall over the next few days, potentially causing flooding and hazardous conditions on the roads.
It is important to stay informed and be prepared for the inclement weather. Make sure to check local weather updates and advisories regularly, and avoid unnecessary travel if possible. Keep an eye on water levels in rivers and streams near your area, and be ready to take action if flooding occurs.
Remember to drive cautiously and watch out for pooling water on the roads. If you encounter a flooded area, do not attempt to drive through it as it may be deeper than it appears.
Stay safe and dry, Southern Ontario! Let’s all be vigilant and prepared during this period of heavy rainfall. #RainfallWarning #EnvironmentCanada #SouthernOntario #StaySafe
