Residents of London, Ontario, should prepare for a chilly and potentially snowy weekend, according to the latest forecast from Environment Canada. While significant accumulation is not expected, periods of flurries are possible as cold air continues to grip the region.
A Persistent Chill and Potential Snow
The dominant weather story for Southwestern Ontario remains the unseasonably cold air mass. Temperatures are expected to stay well below seasonal norms, prompting continued warnings about the cold. The forecast for Saturday, December 20, 2025, and into Sunday includes a risk of scattered flurries. These are not anticipated to be major snowfall events, but they could lead to reduced visibility and quick dustings on surfaces.
Travel Advisory for Slick Conditions
Motorists are being cautioned to stay alert. Any precipitation that falls on the cold ground, combined with potential freezing drizzle, could create slick and hazardous road conditions. Environment Canada has highlighted this risk for the broader region, including the Ottawa area, and similar cautions apply locally in London. Drivers should allow extra time for travel and ensure their vehicles are prepared for winter driving.
Broader Weather Context Across Canada
The cold snap affecting London is part of a larger pattern bringing extreme weather to various parts of the country. In Quebec, strong winds have knocked out power to nearly 93,500 private addresses. Meanwhile, in British Columbia's Electoral Area 'E', officials have evacuated two properties due to a landslide risk, underscoring the diverse and severe weather impacts nationwide.
As Londoners bundle up for the weekend, the key takeaway is to expect more of the same cold, with the added possibility of light, flying snow. Staying informed through local forecasts from Environment Canada is the best way to plan for the conditions.
