Stay safe and watch out for strong winds, hail, and heavy rain as severe thunderstorm alerts sweep through southern and northeastern Ontario.
Severe thunderstorm alerts have gripped Ontario, with various regions facing the wrath of Mother Nature. Environment Canada issued severe thunderstorm watches and warnings, highlighting the potential for strong wind gusts, large hail, and heavy rain. From southern Ontario to the Ottawa Valley, residents are bracing for the possibility of tornadoes amidst the turbulent weather conditions. The unpredictable mix of thunderstorms, heavy rain, and even snow in western Canada has Canadians on edge. In the Waterloo region, Guelph, Ottawa, Hamilton, and Collingwood, the alerts emphasize the need for caution and preparedness.
As the alerts spread like wildfire across different parts of Ontario, the importance of staying informed and heeding warnings cannot be overstated. With wind gusts reaching up to 90 km/h and hail the size of toonies expected in some areas, residents are urged to take necessary precautions. In Ottawa, the abrupt severe thunderstorm warning came after a series of storms passed through the Ottawa Valley, creating a sense of urgency for safety measures to be in place. In Toronto and Parry Sound, the threat of severe thunderstorms looms large, reminding everyone of the unpredictable nature of Canadian weather.

In regions under severe thunderstorm watches, protecting cars and buildings from potential hail damage becomes crucial.
