Yes, we’re getting plenty of rain. No, it won’t bring back the flood watches.
Besides, the second half of the week has a forecast of sunshine again, and we’ve been spoiled in recent weeks by unusually warm, dry weather.
In this flip-flop spring, we had a frigid April but have just finished the 18th-warmest May since records began, back in the 1870s.
May was dry as well as warm, though there was nothing record-setting about it. We ended the month with 52.2 millimetres of rain, compared to a long-term average of about 79 millimetres. (Rainfall varies much more than temperature does.)
Now the past two days have made up for the rain that May didn’t bring. Ottawa received 20 millimetres of rain Sunday and about 13 millimetres as of early Monday.
Weather historian Rolf Campbell, who plots many weather stats for Ottawa, notes on Twitter that Monday has been the wettest June 4 in the past 69 years. Again, it’s nowhere near a record thanks to some torrential early June days back in the early 1900s.
The forecast from here: Most of the heavy rain has passed through, and we’re due for a chance of showers Tuesday and Thursday but nothing substantial.
