Provincial Overview
Isolated events brought variable rain accumulations for the Eastern region. All other regions received trace amounts of precipitation, if any at all. Precipitation for the past week ranged from 0 mm to 4.7 mm.
Climate normals for total accumulated precipitation from May 1 to June 1 range from 40.6 mm to 81.1 mm and are based on 30-year historical data. Lack of recent precipitation has resulted in the East, Interlake, and large parts of the Northwest having accumulations under 60% of normal. Accumulations in the Southwest and parts of the Central region are up to 140% of the 30-year average since May 1.
Provincial seeding progress is about 95% complete, which is ahead of the 5-year average of 85%.
