2017 has already proven to be a record-breaking year with snowfall this winter and now rainfall thanks to yesterday’s (Tuesday) downpour. Our resident meteorologist Russ Lacate confirms that we really did get more rain yesterday than normal. In fact, we broke a 61-year-old rainfall record in Vancouver and more could be broken today. While the amounts are being calculated, some areas of Metro Vancouver received anywhere between 40-90 mm of rain yesterday and some of the hardest hit areas were the North Shore, Coquitlam and Pitt Meadows. If you look outside the area, Port Mellon recorded a whopping 103 millimeters of rain!

 

With a rainfall warning still in effect at the time of writing, we could break more Vancouver records today:

 

Downpours overnight plus more heavy rainfall today means we’ll break more Vancouver records. Rainfall warning still on @news1130weather pic.twitter.com/EQP08td5pS


In other words…

 

While we may have broken records, not everyone was impressed with the rain:

 

 


Luckily, there is some light at the end of the tunnel…
