Drought across British Columbia could worsen this year

From The Weather Network

Snow levels are 39 per cent below normal, according to a B.C. River Forecast Centre report released Thursday — significantly worse than this time last year, when levels were 19 per cent below normal.

Snowpack levels remain below the median for every river basin in the province, with four in every five automated weather stations reporting levels in the bottom 20 per cent of all years since they started collecting data.
