Prince George, B.C. – A new weather record has been set for  January 26th in Prince George, but it isn’t linked to temperature.

It has been mild alright, but the new record  for this date is all about the rain.

As of 4 this afternoon, 6.4 mm of rain had  been recorded at the Prince George  Airport,  and 8.2 mm had been recorded at the Environment Canada weather station on Massey Drive.

Both amounts  are  well over the  old record of 2mm  of rain which fell on the City on this day in 1984.

The exact new record won’t be known until  it stops  raining  today, and that is expected to taper off this evening.
