A wet June for Prince George

Jul 3, 2024 | 8:01 AM

PRINCE GEORGE — The weather gods came through for Prince George in June.

Environment and Climate Change Canada says 80.2 millimetres of precipitation fell in June, better than the average of 65.3 millimetres – or 122 per cent of normal.

“It’s great for fire suppression though we’re still experiencing drought conditions,” says Operational Meteorologist Jennifer Kowal.

Kowal says the amount of rainfall Prince George experienced in June was the highest total over the past five years, though well short of the record 157.3 millimetres of precipitation that fell in June 1993.

Looking ahead to July and August, Environment and Climate Change Canada says there’s a high likelihood of above normal temperatures. The average high for July is 22.6 degrees while the average low is 9.1.
