Weather Trivia
Did you know? In Canada, a Severe Thunderstorm Warning means that a storm is actively occurring or detected, featuring dangerous weather like large hail (2 cm+), wind gusts of 90 km/h or more, or intense rainfall. These alerts are issued after storms form, while a Watch warns that conditions are ripe for severe storms in the near future.
