Then came multiple cold and extreme cold warnings which are issued when the temperature is below -15 degrees Celsius without the windchill or when the temperature or windchill reach -30 degrees Celsius respectively. Warnings were issued on Jan. 1, 6, 20 and 27. Temperatures were so cold that some experienced rare frost quakes, which sound like explosions and are caused by a sudden drop in temperature causing water to freeze in the ground, putting pressure on the surrounding soil and rock. In between the extreme cold, rainfall warnings were issued at times in Jan. and Feb. during a thaw period prompting Conservation Halton to issue Flood Outlook Statements. The season ended with a major snowstorm on March 12 prompting early closures and cancellation of March Break programs.During the 2013/2014 winter season, Hamilton Health Department issued 12 cold alerts lasting 56 days versus four alerts lasting 15 days the previous year. There was also 30 to 50 percent more snow in 2013/2014.On Jan. 3, 2014, CAA South Central (CAA SCO) received over 9,500 calls from members due to the bitter cold at an average of 1,000 calls per hour with a wait time of about 4 hours at peak. The average number of calls on a winter day is 3,000 calls.On Jan. 7, 2014, Hamilton set a new temperature record at -24 degrees Celsius with a 60 km/hr wind chill making it feel more like -41 degrees Celsius. Temperatures would have been colder had it not been for Lake Ontario’s moderating effect.In 2019, cold warnings were issued on Jan. 10, 18, 25, 29, Feb. 27 and March 3. A major snowstorm also hit Burlington and especially Hamilton on Jan. 19 where about 40 cm of snow fell coupled with cold temperatures and wind gusts. This season also brought a Feb. thaw causing $70 million in insured damage in Ontario.With climate change, the jet stream appears to weaken and become more unstable, resulting in larger dips which push cold arctic air further south or warm air from the south further north. This can not only result in more heat or drought conditions but also more extreme cold spells with extreme precipitation lingering for longer than normal. | 01/20/2022 02:27:05 |

Description
This data is collected through the CDP-ICLEI Unified Reporting System. When using this data, please cite both organisations using the following wording: ‘This data was collected in partnership by CDP and ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability’.
This dataset contains a subset of the related full cities dataset, covering Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Action questions for publicly disclosing cities in 2021. The platform is still open and the dataset is updated daily to reflect new submissions.
To view the cities 2021 questionnaire guidance, including all questions asked to cities in 2021, visit https://www.cdp.net/en/guidance/guidance-for-cities.
For any questions, including guidance on how to reference this data in your own work, please contact cities@cdp.net.
Please note that this dataset may contain data from cities or, in some instances, groups of cities at different administrative levels. This includes metropolitan areas, combined authorities, and some regional councils.
When using the inventory data for aggregation, comparison and trend analysis, please note that the inventory data is based on non-verified self-reported city inputs. The reported inventory may not include all emission sources within the city boundary.
