Environment and Climate Change Canada develops tool to assess cold temperature impacts from climate change, with plans to expand to extreme precipitation.

Environment and Climate Change Canada has introduced a tool to assess how climate change affects extreme cold temperatures, expanding on its initial use for heat waves. This system analyzes current and pre-industrial climate models to gauge the impact of human-caused climate change on cold events. Following record warmth in summer 2024, officials aim to help communities adapt to climate risks, with plans to extend the tool to extreme precipitation in the future.
