Cowan says June has a reputation of being wet recently but he says the precipitation for the month can range anywhere between 30 mm to the 240 mm the area received in 2012.
AÂ very strong ridge of high pressure due to a warmer Pacific ocean is causing the heat wave. Records were set in many B.C communities Sunday including Castlegar where it reached 34.7 C.
