A Little Rain Could Hurt

Vancouver and Central England have had one thing in common, record rains. Although here in Vancouver the rain hasn't been nearly as bad as in the UK, which has been a result of El Nino.

However, we have had enough rain to set records for the most consecutive days of rain for July. Yes Vancouvites haven't seen their vitamin d for days. That's certainly our problem.

But hopefully all of that will change Wednesday with the HSBC Celebration of Light. The weather forecast calls for sun and lots of it. So that little rain might not hurt as much. I'm looking forward to all of the fireworks as it is one of the highlights of the summer here in Vancouver.

In case you are interested in the Fireworks Schedule, it is as follows:

Spain - July 25
Canada - July 28
China - Aug 1
Finale - Aug 4

A Rain Update

We get a lot of rain in North Vancouver but usually don't know how much rain we exactly get because of the measurement from Richmond and not on this side of the mountains.

Today we had 103mm of rain
20 straight days of rain without sun!

I guess we are still planning on 150mm more rain.
Rivers are actually starting to flood throughout the mainland also...

I guess you can say everyone around here just wants to see some good old sunshine!
