Environment Canada is forecasting a risk of freezing rain for Burlington, Ontario, starting on the evening of March 5, 2026, and continuing overnight. This weather could create slippery conditions for anyone walking or driving in the area as temperatures change.
While the daytime high for Thursday is expected to reach 3°C, the morning began with a cold wind chill of -7°C. According to Environment Canada, the chance of icy rain will remain through the night and into the early morning hours of March 6, 2026.
As of 1:53 PM on Thursday, there are no formal weather alerts or official warnings in effect for the city. Residents are still encouraged to be careful on local roads and sidewalks, as ice can form quickly when the temperature sits near the freezing mark.
The government weather agency suggests that residents keep an eye on local updates throughout the evening. Taking extra time for travel and watching for patches of ice can help neighbors stay safe during the transition from rain to freezing drizzle.
