By the afternoon, the mercury will drop further to -24°C, with wind chills making it feel like -35°C. Despite the sunshine, the frigid conditions will persist, so make sure to dress in multiple layers and cover exposed skin to avoid frostbite.

As the sun sets at 3:06 PM, the clear skies will continue into the evening and night, maintaining the bitter cold. The air quality remains low risk, and the UV index is low, so no need for sunscreen today.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, the sunny weather will persist, but temperatures will plummet even further to -28°C, feeling like -37°C. With five hours of sunshine expected, it's a good day for indoor activities or short outdoor excursions if you're well-prepared for the cold.
