Fifth wettest July on record to end with sunny weather
As one of Calgary's rainiest Julys on record draws to a close, Calgarians can look forward to a few days of reprieve from the wet weather, followed by another rainy weekend. This month was the fifth wettest July on record, with 139.6 millimeters as of Sunday evening — more than double the average precipitation for July. 'We could move into fourth place or even third place today, depending on if we get into another thunderstorm,' said Crawford Luke, a meteorologist at Environment and Climate Change Canada. 'There was one earlier this morning, and we could expect another one later today.' The rainiest ever July was in 1927, which saw a total of 245.4 millimeters of precipitation.

Some areas, including Bow Valley, Canada Olympic Park and Cochrane, were the chilliest on record for that day. Beginning Tuesday, however, Calgarians will be able to enjoy a few days of sunny weather — though it may come with higher-than-average humidity after the record-breaking rain. Though more showers are predicted for the upcoming long weekend, current forecasts are showing that the weather should improve in August. 'It looks like, overall, it's going to be average for precipitation over the next few weeks, and temperatures should actually be on the warm side,' Luke said. River flows elevated, but no flooding expected River levels are currently higher than normal for this time of year, but are not yet at risk of flooding, according to Frank Frigo, the city's manager of environmental management. 'Though flows are elevated, they're not at the point where any kind of overland flooding is expected, and no flood response is anticipated,' he said. However, anyone spending time on or around Calgary's rivers in the coming days should be cautious of other risks associated with elevated flows, Frigo said. 'When we have higher flows like this, the temperature of the water is cooler,' he said. 'We have the potential for near-bank erosion, and the turbidity is high — that means you can't really see through the water to notice any potential debris or hazards that might be there.' Debris in the rivers tends to collect around bridges, so extra caution is advised for those areas. Frigo said the city has also responded to more than 560 service calls over the past 10 days due to localized flooding throughout the city. 'We are seeing some localized and shorter-term ponding in open spaces and on roadways, streets and green spaces as well,' he said. 'We're trying to address those in a prioritized manner.' Calgarians are encouraged to call 311 to report any flooding concerns.

Heat warnings span B.C. Interior, southern areas to see temperatures up to 37 C
VANCOUVER — Environment Canada has issued heat warnings for a swath of British Columbia's Interior stretching from Grand Forks near the U.S. border to areas north of Prince George. The weather agency says the heat is expected to arrive with a ridge of high pressure on Tuesday and persist until at least Thursday. The bulletin for the Okanagan Valley, Fraser Canyon, South Thompson, Boundary and West Kootenay regions says temperatures are expected to hit between 35 C to 37 C with overnight lows near 18 C. The North Thompson, Cariboo, Prince George and Stuart-Nechako areas are expected to see temperatures between 29 C and 34 C, with overnight lows of around 14 degrees. The weather agency is encouraging people to watch for signs of heat illness, including fatigue, headache and thirst, and to check in on family, friends and neighbours who are at higher risk during hot weather. It says the risks are greater for seniors, people who live alone, those with health or mental health conditions and people with limited mobility.

Severe storms hit Southeast Michigan, causing flooding and power outages
Heavy rainfall made its way to Southeast Michigan on Monday, causing flooding in some areas. The Wayne County Airport Authority is urging residents to watch for flooding near the Detroit Metro Airport. Officials say there is flooding "at several locations across the Detroit Metro Airport campus, including the Dingell Drive tunnel," and it is impacting flights. "We encourage you to check with your airline before heading to DTW," the authority said. The Romulus Fire Department said it has received reports of people trapped in their vehicles in the underpasses. As of 4:50 p.m. on Monday, more than 9,000 customers are without power. Meanwhile, more than 6,000 Consumers Energy customers are without power. Dearborn Heights Mayor Bill Bazzi advised residents and business owners to move their vehicles from low-lying areas and relocate expensive items to higher levels. "Residents are advised to remain aware of changing weather conditions, and take appropriate actions to ensure their safety should conditions deteriorate. Residents are also advised to, if possible (as a precaution), move valuable/irreplaceable items from the lower levels of their structures to a higher, safer level and stay tuned to local media outlets for future weather-related information," Dearborn Heights city officials said.
