The ongoing atmospheric river event in British Columbia has dumped more than 200 millimetres of rain in some coastal areas since it began earlier this week.

Environment Canada says that since Sunday the Kennedy Lake Highway Station on Vancouver Island has recorded almost 223 millimetres of rainfall, while Estevan Point reported 201 millimetres.

Other locations that have seen heavy rain include Ucluelet and Tofino on Vancouver Island, Port Melon in the Howe Sound and Burnaby Mountain in Metro Vancouver.

The same weather event has also dumped 38 centimetres of snow further north on the community of Terrace, as well as 42 centimetres in Stewart near the Alaska border and 33 centimetres further inland in Blue River.

Western Vancouver Island and B.C.’s central coast remains under an elevated orange-level rainfall warning, while a lesser rain warning is in effect for inland Vancouver Island, the northern regions of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

A flood watch by B.C.’s River Forecast Centre also remains in place for the central coastal regions of the province, including Bella Bella and Bella Coola.
