There is also a fall preview.
Canada's national weather forecaster says dangerously "hot and dry" conditions are expected to continue through the end of July in the Lower Mainland.
The parched conditions have worsened over several months, with drastically lower rainfall amounts recorded starting back in May. This year the average rainfall amount recorded at Vancouver International Airport was 16.1 cm, which was less than 25 per cent of the average , explained Environment Canada meteorologist Johnson Zhong.
This month, a mere .1 to .2 cm of precipitation has been recorded at the airport. While the month is "typically dry," this is drastically lower than the average amount seen at the airport, Zhong said. Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently announced that El Niño has emerged, noting how its effects will gradually strengthen over the coming months.
