Statement warns of up to 75mm rain in Metro Vancouver

Share On

Strong winds tore branches from trees and likely played a part in several outages this morning that cut power to nearly 2,500 customers in the Peace River region of northeastern BC.

The region is one of several in the province affected by weather warnings today, including blizzard and winter storm warnings along most of both sides of the BC-Yukon boundary as up to 35 centimetres of snow and powerful winds make travel treacherous there.

Rain warnings are up for western Vancouver Island and inland sections of the north coast as meteorologists predict up to 150 millimetres could deluge parts of the Island by tomorrow while the areas around Kitimat and Stewart will see up to 60-millimetres before conditions ease.

Special weather statements cover eastern Vancouver Island and the inner south Coast including Metro Vancouver as the weather office says a system packing about 75 millimetres of rain will drench those regions tonight and tomorrow.

Trump signals tariff cut for India after pledge to halt Russian oil imports

U.S. President Donald Trump says his administration plans to lower tariffs on Indian goods to 18 per cent, down from the current 25 per cent, after India agreed to stop purchasing oil from Russia. The announcement follows months of pressure from Washington urging New Delhi to reduce its reliance on discounted Russian crude amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. India has been one of the world’s largest buyers of Russian oil since Moscow’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, taking advantage of lower prices as many Western countries moved to restrict energy trade with Russia. The issue has been a
