Residents in Arviat, Nunavut, can expect sunnier conditions today as Environment Canada officially lifted all weather alerts for the community on March 10, 2026. The severe blizzard conditions that had impacted the region over the previous day have now moved out of the area.
Early morning reports at 7:00 AM showed clear skies with temperatures sitting around -35.5°C. While the immediate threat from the blizzard has passed, the community is now facing a period of intense cold.
Forecasters say wind chill values reached -53 on Tuesday morning and are expected to remain near -43 during the afternoon. These extreme levels mean there is a high risk of frostbite for anyone spending time outdoors.
Local residents are advised to continue taking safety precautions despite the end of the storm. Even with the sun coming out, the low temperatures mean it is still necessary to cover up and watch for signs of cold-related injuries as the community transitions out of the severe weather event.
