Prince George, B.C.- As the City  of Prince George  braces for another flood event,  it should come as no  surprise that June 2012   has  already proven to be   very, very wet.

According to data from Environment Canada,  P.G. has  already  been  hit  with 91mm of rain as of the end of June 17th.  That is  nearly  20mm more than the 72.7 mm average for  TOTAL  rainfall for the whole month!

The wettest day  in June’s  weather record book was June 6th of 1960, when  the city was  awash in 38.9mm of rain in that 24 hour period.

The Fraser  River and its tributaries are  swollen with the  rainfall and the spring melt from a much higher than normal snowpack.   The Fraser  could peak  at  10.6 – 10.8 metres today or early tomorrow.  The previous record high level  for the Fraser was 10.442 meters, a mark  that was set  in June of 1972.
