We don't always get a chance to visualize sea level rise. But this King Tide was forecast to push storm surge ~40 cm >than high tide. That's roughly what current climate projections have happening to Vancouver by 2050. Might not sound like much but it amplifies storms like today

It's been 27 days now with no rain for Vancouver. And temps continue to run above seasonal next few days. A low pressure system finally looks to drop down the coast for Friday coming w a chance of showers. Poor air quality and fresh heat warnings for the BC Interior.

Truly wild that both sides of Canada dealing w record rain, washed-out roads, isolated communities. Atmospheric rivers are happening all the time. It's how most of the water near equator gets transported northward. Climate change means they will continue to become more intense.

Yup, this is serious. This is one of those events where all meteorologist are 100% on the same team to get information out ...
I can't believe I'm writing this. Pockets of the Lower Mainland, like Abbotsford, may have a humidex reading close to 50 on Monday. FIFTY. Check on relatives, friends, strangers. This is life-threatening heat.
