Edmonton Receives a Month of Rain in 72 Hours — Environment Canada

An intense weekend storm has dumped over 102 mm of rain on the Edmonton region in under 72 hours, far exceeding the typical June monthly average of 70 mm. Environment and Climate Change Canada confirmed the deluge pushed total monthly rainfall past 189 mm, making this officially the second-wettest June on record for the region since 1965. The extreme rainfall overwhelmed regional stormwater systems, prompting multiple municipal emergency alerts across Edmonton, St. Albert, and Beaumont, urging residents to immediately restrict non-essential indoor water use to prevent widespread sewage backups. Further storms are forecast for the coming weekend, raising the possibility of breaking the all-time historic rainfall record for June set back in 1914. #EdmontonWeather #AlbertaStorm #ExtremeWeather #EnvironmentCanada #FlashFlooding #Lykstage #LykstageVideo #LykstageCreator #LykstageCommunity
