Nope. Doesn't suck to be in BC but it's a pain at times. More rain to come. Break out the umbrellas.
B.C. flood threat eases, but rain advisory remains
Cool weather is easing the threat of flooding in the Fraser Valley, a provincial forecaster said Monday.
River levels could stabilize or even recede over the next two days, according to Allan Chapman, head of British Columbia's river forecast centre.
However, a heavy rainfall advisory remained in effect for Greater Vancouver on Monday, three days after it was issued by Environment Canada.
Rain pounded the Lower Mainland overnight and forecasters warned another 25 millimetres of precipitation could fall on Monday.
On Sunday night, an estimated 75 millimetres fell in the Fraser Valley east of Vancouver. The rain swelled the Chilliwack River, which burst its banks and forced residents from their homes last week.
