B.C. hit by heavy rain, snow and power outages

B.C.: The holiday spirit might take a hit as another storm rolls into the region. This one’s bringing heavy rain, snow, and strong winds, just in time for Christmas. It’s a real bummer for anyone with plans to celebrate.

The weather has been wild lately, with back-to-back storms causing chaos. Many folks are feeling the impact, especially with power outages and landslides making things tricky.

The first storm hit on Tuesday, and it packed a punch with strong winds and heavy rain. Now, another system is on its way, and it looks like it’ll be a wet Christmas for sure. If you’re in the area, make sure your devices are charged and be ready for possible power cuts.

Before you head out to see family or friends, check the local weather alerts and road conditions. Travel could be a real hassle this week.

Christmas Day is shaping up to be a soggy one, with heavy rain expected. The rain will really ramp up on Wednesday morning, hitting its peak by the afternoon.

West Vancouver Island is bracing for some serious downpours, while Metro Vancouver won’t escape the wet weather either.

Forecasters are warning about a lot of rain—up to 200 mm in some areas—which could lead to flooding. Plus, strong winds could cause more power outages and disrupt ferry services.

If you’re heading inland, be aware that snow levels are dropping, which might lead to flurries at lower elevations. This could make travel on highways like the Coquihalla a bit dicey.

Rainy and breezy conditions are expected to stick around through Thursday, and Greater Victoria should prepare for a windy Boxing Day. Some forecasts even predict gusts up to 100 km/h.
