As rain continues to fall in the Cariboo, we could be seeing less as we approach June.
Yesterday has only solidified that May has been a wetter than normal month, with Williams Lake breaking a precipitation record.
Meteorologist, Ken Dosanjh says the record broken was originally set in 2004.
“Williams Lake received 12.4 millimetres of precipitation,” says Dosanjh.
“yesterday, so 2024, Williams Lake received 12.9, so only 0.5 millimetres greater than the previous record, but a record never the less.”
Dosanjh added that Quesnel only saw 4.9 millimetres of precipitation, which didn’t come close to the record set back in 1936 of 30.5 millimetres.
Whether or not the region can expect more rain to fall, he says it’s expected to slow down as the week progresses, but notes temperatures will remain below seasonal at around 15 degrees.
The Cariboo could see some more showers come Friday (May 31st) and Saturday (June 1st), but nothing discernible of note.
