Residents in Oshawa, Ontario should prepare for strong winds starting late tonight, February 27, 2026. According to Environment Canada, gusts are expected to reach up to 60 kilometres per hour before shifting by Saturday morning.
The wind will start from the south and southwest this evening before moving to come from the northwest after midnight. There is also a 40 per cent chance of rain or snow flurries overnight as temperatures drop to minus 1°C.
These gusts are strong enough to blow around loose items and could cause tree branches to break or fall. Citizens are encouraged to secure outdoor furniture and exercise caution while driving or walking outdoors.
While the winds will be heavy, they are not expected to reach the 90 kilometres per hour speed required for a formal government wind warning. Oshawa Power and Service Oshawa are monitoring the weather to help with any potential power outages or debris.
Residents can find more details on severe weather terminology or review wind safety through the Ontario Physical Activity Safety Standards in Education. Updates will also be provided through the WeatherCAN mobile app.
