What types of weather warnings does Canada issue?

Environment Canada categorises alerts into warnings, watches, and advisories. Warnings mean hazardous weather is occurring or imminent; watches indicate conditions are favourable for a storm to develop; advisories cover less severe but still disruptive events like blowing snow or poor air quality. For specific regions, ontario weather warnings today often include lake-effect snow in the south and blizzard conditions in the north.

How often are Environment Canada weather warnings updated?

Warnings are updated as conditions change, often every few hours during active weather. Critical updates may come more frequently for fast-moving storms like tornadoes.
