A warm weather trend (El Niño) began in BC, including the qathet region, in November 2023, and is predicted to last until spring 2024.
“The warmer and wetter than usual weather trend is caused by the equatorial water along the Pacific being warmer than normal,” Environment and Climate Change Canada meteorologist Derek Lee told the Peak last month. “It has a global kind of ripple [effect] and in terms of how the weather changes for BC, especially in the wintertime, and right now, El Niño is occurring with a probability of near 100 per cent until March of 2024.”
