A nice way to kick off the first day of summer...
Executive Summary
As of June 15th, snowpack is below normal, averaging 38% across B.C. (June 1st: 57%)
Typically, three-quarters of the annual snowpack melts by June 15th. Despite a very early melt of low elevation snowpack in April, overall this year’s snow has melted at a typical rate, with 79% now melted.
Last year, the average of all stations on June 15th was 4% of normal.
Snowmelt-related flood hazard remains low. The greatest flood risk for the rest of the season is from widespread heavy rain events.
Low seasonal snowpack, early snowmelt and lingering impacts from on-going drought are creating elevated drought hazards for the upcoming summer.
This is the final Snow Bulletin of the 2024 season. The next Bulletin will be issued in early January 2025.
