October 2024 Forecasts And Discussions

[Typeing3]

Coquitlam Burke Mountain:

100.0 mm/6 h
154.5 mm/12 h
224.3 mm/24 h
266.0 mm/48 h
291.4 mm total

All-time records have been smashed, shattered, pulverized.
Even though the POR is very short [2014-], this is highly significative. The previous records were much, much lower (half lower for most).

It's too bad there's no comparable station around there with long term data (Coquitlam Lake maybe?), as it would be interesting to see how it stacks up against some of the upper tier rainfall events that we've seen in the general period of record throughout the Lower Mainland (I.e. since ~1875).

It's so sad as we discussed before Tfall the lack of stations or stations that have closed down as well as record collecting data in B.C. it's a joke really you can't get a sense of raw average data.

Fall colours...in the sky. October 4.

And a Special Weather Statement for winds near 60 km/h gusting to 80 km/h on Friday night into Saturday. It's perfectly timed because the last eggs are just hatching in the incubator and the next ones go in after the windstorm.
