Total Rainfall Already Surpassed Average May Amounts as Rainfall Warning Issued

Environment Canada has issued a rainfall warning for all of eastern Ontario.

Meteorologist Peter Kimbell says the area is expecting to see rain today and into tomorrow, which could even change to snow tomorrow night.

Kimbell says the average rainfall amount for all of May is about 80 millimetres, and we’ve already had almost 50 this week.

Environment Canada is reminding you that flooding is possible in low-lying areas, and is asking you stay away from washouts near rivers, creeks, and culverts.
