Understanding Weather Alerts

While the forecast is clear for now, it’s always helpful to understand what different alerts mean when they are issued. Environment Canada uses a tiered system to keep you informed and safe.

• Special Weather Statements: These are the least urgent type of alert. They highlight weather events that are unusual or could cause public inconvenience.
• Watches: A watch means that conditions are favorable for severe weather to develop. It’s a heads-up to stay aware and monitor future forecasts.
• Warnings: This is the most urgent alert. A warning indicates that severe weather is either happening or is about to happen. You should take immediate steps to protect yourself and your property when a warning is issued.

For now, none of these are in effect for Saint John and County. Always check the latest updates from official sources like Environment Canada before making plans.
