Rainfall Record For May Remains Unbroken

Even though the sun seems like a distant memory with the recent spell of wet weather, we have not broken any rainfall records.


Environment Canada meteorologist Claude Cote tells CHSJ News we have received just over 100 millimetres of rainfall so far for the month of May and the average is 118 millimetres. He says there has been more rain than usual but we are far from breaking any records.


However, others areas have had above average rainfall: Point Lepreau has received 140 millimetres of rain while Gran Manan has been soaked with 121 millimetres.
