Weather, Ottawa, February 16, 2026

A thick cloud cover keeps the sky gray and temperatures close to freezing, roughly -0.9°C to 1.5°C.

It will feel colder than the numbers suggest, with real-feel temperatures a few degrees below zero, so warm layers are useful.

A shower may arrive in the evening, leaving surfaces damp or slushy in spots. Sturdy shoes and a warm coat help for brief trips outside.
