[[File:Riverfrontwalk windsor.jpg|thumb|right|]]Winters in Windsor are cold. The January mean temperature averages  {{convert|-3.6|°C|°F}} Airport, {{convert|-2.9|°C|°F}} Downtown.<ref name=climate/> Occasional bitter cold outbreaks do occur, often accompanied by [[wind chill]]s exacerbating the feel to exposed skin, these tend to be short-lived.

=== Flooding and other emergencies===
Windsor experienced historic flooding in 2016, 2017 and 2019.

A previous state of emergency in Windsor was called in 2013 when a fire broke out at a [[plastic recycling]] warehouse.

===Tornadoes===
As the Canadian city with the highest number of days that experience severe [[thunderstorms]] and [[lightning]], Windsor has historically been subject to [[tornadoes]] and severe weather. Notably, Windsor is located in the middle of "Tornado Alley".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Canada's 'Tornado Alley' runs through Windsor and Essex County |url=https://windsorstar.com/news/local-news/canadas-tornado-alley-runs-through-windsor-and-essex-county |access-date=2022-08-11 |website=windsorstar |language=en-CA |archive-date=May 21, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220521210515/https://windsorstar.com/news/local-news/canadas-tornado-alley-runs-through-windsor-and-essex-county/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The strongest and deadliest tornado to touch down in Windsor was an [[Windsor - Tecumseh, Ontario Tornado of 1946|F4]] in 1946.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2014 |title=Deadly skies: Canada's most destructive tornadoes |url=http://www.cbc.ca/archives/categories/environment/extreme-weather/deadly-skies-canadas-most-destructive-tornadoes/1946-windsor-tornado.html |access-date=2014-05-02 |publisher=CBC Digital Archives |archive-date=January 1, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140101174236/http://www.cbc.ca/archives/categories/environment/extreme-weather/deadly-skies-canadas-most-destructive-tornadoes/1946-windsor-tornado.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Windsor was the only Canadian city to experience a tornado during the [[1974 Super Outbreak]], an F3 which killed nine people when it destroyed the Windsor Curling Club. The city was grazed by the [[1997 Southeast Michigan tornado outbreak]], with one tornado (an F1) forming east of the city. Tornadoes have been recorded crossing the [[Detroit River]] (in 1946 and 1997), and [[waterspouts]] are regularly seen over [[Lake Saint Clair (North America)|Lake St. Clair]] and [[Lake Erie]], especially in autumn.

On April 25, 2009, an F0 tornado briefly touched down in the eastern part of the city, causing minor damage to nearby buildings, most notably a [[CUPE]] [[Trade union|union hall]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2011-12-06 |title=Environment Canada |url=http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/warnings/SWS_bulletins_e.html?prov=on |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121030230915/http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/warnings/SWS_bulletins_e.html?prov=on |archive-date=October 30, 2012 |access-date=2012-01-02 |website=Weatheroffice.gc.ca |df=mdy-all}}</ref>
