SUPERIOR NORTH -- A period of very cold wind chills is expected, warns Environment Canada.

The government weather agency says minimum temperatures between -30C and -32C with wind chill values near -45 will return Tuesday night into Wednesday morning for Peawanuck and Fort Severn.

Similar wind chill values are expected during the nights and mornings for the remainder of the week.

Extreme cold puts everyone at risk.

Dress warmly. Dress in layers that you can remove if you get too warm. The outer layer should be wind resistant.

Synthetic and wool fabrics provide good insulation.

Extreme cold warnings are issued when very cold temperatures or wind chill creates an elevated risk to health such as frost bite and hypothermia.
