Nanaimo desert-dry as year of extreme weather continues
NANAIMO — Rain has been almost non-existent in the Nanaimo area, in what has been a year of extreme, record-breaking weather.
Environment Canada Meteorologist Cindy Yu told NanaimoNewsNOW their data shows it’s been an extremely dry summer in the Harbour City.
“If we look at those two months (July and August) we only had 2.8 mm of precipitation and that was the driest July and August on record.”
Only 0.4 mm of rain fell in July, followed by just 2.4 mm in August, Yu said.
