Gladu has no regrets as federal funding starts to trickle into Sarnia-Lambton
Another Cold Weather Alert in Lambton
January 26, 2026
Lambton County’s Medical Officer of Health has issued a Cold Weather Alert for the region based on the latest forecast from Environment Canada predicting the temperature to meet the threshold of -15°C
overnight.
The alert is expected to remain in effect until Wednesday, Jan. 28.
A Cold Weather Alert is issued when one or more of the following is met:
- Daily, low temperature is predicted to be -15°C or below, without a wind chill
value. - Environment Canada issues a wind chill warning for Lambton County.
- Extreme weather conditions, such as a blizzard or ice storm, are predicted.
Lambton Public Health (LPH) advises local agencies that provide shelter and assistance
to individuals experiencing homelessness to prepare for an increase in demand during
the Cold Weather Alert.
All residents should take precautions by dressing in layers, shielding exposed areas
from the wind such as head, neck, and face, and limiting time spent outdoors.
Overexposure to cold can be hazardous and even life-threatening. Hypothermia, which
can strike in any season, occurs when the body’s temperature drops below the normal
range between 36.1°C and 37.8°C (97°F and 100°F). Symptoms may include pale skin,
lethargy, confusion, excessive shivering, and hallucinations.
For more information on severe cold weather and the risks involved including
hypothermia, frostbite and how to avoid them, please visit LambtonPublicHealth.ca.
