Environment Canada has issued a yellow frost advisory for the Greater Toronto Area as the region prepares for its first near-freezing temperatures of the season. According to reporting from CBC Toronto, the national weather agency expects temperatures to drop Monday afternoon into early Tuesday morning.
Forecasts indicate a low of 3 C on Monday night, accompanied by northwest winds of 20 km/h that could gust up to 40 km/h. Environment Canada warned that these conditions make damage to crops, trees, and plants possible. To mitigate these risks, the agency suggests that residents in frost-prone areas cover their crops and protect plants that are sensitive to the cold.
