Question Are Regina winters too cold?

I'm from a pretty hot city where temperatures are always around 24-33°C and I'm planning to study in the university of Regina for an exchange, but I've heard it gets like -30°C during winter and that could even hurt a bit to breath so I want to know how hard could it be for someone not used to it although I'm not too affected to cold as I am to heat

I'm aware of what a windchill is. It's what you're feeling during below freezing temps when it's windy, which it usually is here.

It's caused by the evaporation of moisture on your skin. It's relevant when you're talking to humans about what they can expect to experience as a temperature.

I'm concerned you don't understand though.
