Prince Rupert Has 2nd Wettest May on Record; More than Double Its Average
- Prince Rupert experienced extreme precipitation this May, receiving 289.2 mm of rain, the second-highest May total since 1909.
- This event occurred after a dry period at the start of the month and a snowpack level that was lower than usual as the wildfire season approached in the northwest region, including Rupert.
- The May rainfall amounted to 210.2 per cent of the normal 137.6 mm for the month, briefly improving the local wildfire outlook.
- The BC Wildfire Service currently rates Rupert's wildfire risk as moderate due to drying forest fuels despite no active fire bans in place.
- This heavy precipitation suggests temporary relief for fire risk but does not eliminate concerns because drying conditions persist in forest fuels.
