Snowy weather with thermometer

Weather alerts are issued during periods of extreme heat or extreme cold that may have an impact on an individuals health. When Environment Canada issues weather alerts for Oxford County, Elgin County and the City of St. Thomas, Southwestern Public Health (SWPH) receives a notification and issues an alert. Extreme heat and cold alerts are posted on the SWPH website and social media channels, and are distributed to local media, child care providers and other community partners. The purpose of weather alerts is to notify communities to take appropriate precautions and to open heating and cooling centres.

For extreme heat and extreme cold alerts, please follow SWPH on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

You can also subscribe to Environment Canada's text bulletins and weather alerts.
