A hydrologist says he’s “quite worried” about the risk of flooding in British Columbia because of the high snowpack and the potential for sudden warm weather.
The province’s latest snow survey shows the snowpack — the seasonal accumulation of slow-melting packed snow — is 13 per cent above normal, creating an increased risk for spring flooding.
The Snow Survey Bulletin on May 1 says a colder-than-normal April and start of May has delayed the snowmelt in the province. The centre says the risk will also depend on the temperature and rate of snowmelt and the amount of rainfall that could happen at the same time. “It needs at least four days and it’s all relative to how hot it is,” Boyd says. “If Environment Canada is ever saying there’s a big heat on the way, that’s when we have to be fearful.”
