B.C. river forecaster lifts all flood advisories following multi-day deluge

Mar 22, 2026 | 3:04 PM

British Columbia’s river forecaster has rescinded the high streamflow advisories that covered southern parts of the province after heavy rains last week.

There are no more active flood advisories, and a bulletin from the B.C. River Forecast Centre says waters continue to recede from rainfall and snowmelt during the multi-day atmospheric river weather system.

The update issued Sunday says flows in some larger and lake-fed river systems remain elevated, but they’re expected to continue easing this week.

The centre notes some mid-week precipitation may cause minor, temporary increases in flows within smaller systems.

An earlier update from the forecaster said the weather system brought between 40 to 300 millimetres of precipitation to the south coast before easing Friday.
