Things are a bit more tranquil here in Canada. Signals are strong for another significant warmup with little precipitation for western Canada, especially in BC and northern Alberta next week.

We will be releasing the summer 2019 Canada outlook next week, and I certainly have concerns about the potential for an extended stretch of very warm and dry conditions over portions of the west this summer.

Well gooseman, seems like nowadays you don't need a rocket science degree or look at models to predict warm and dry weather from mid spring thru the summer for the lower mainland and most of BC .

I would think the long term average in that area would be in excess of 100mm.

I’m at 23.6mm for May. Just a little shy of 50% of normal. This will be the 4th consecutive drier than average month here.
