stage 4 drought level

Chilliwack on target for the driest September in more than a century of weather records

Chilliwack on target for the driest September in more than a century of weather records

Friday is looking like it will mark a milestone of 51 days of drought in sun-drenched Chilliwack. However it it rains, as forecast earlier in the week by Environment Canada, it means the longest ever dry spell on record for Chilliwack, 51 days set in 1951, will be broken on Sept. 23. If it doesn’t rain, it means the stage 4 drought level, that the Lower Mainland entered on Sept. 15, will continue.
