Edmonton sees wettest summer on record with more storms expected for August

Edmonton has broken a record for the wettest summer on record and it isn’t even August.

Brian Proctor, meteorologist at Environment and Climate Change Canada, says the wettest summer on record in the capital city was more than 70 years ago.

In 1953, the city received 417 millimetres of rain from June through August.

This year, the region has been saturated by 580 millimetres of rain, and July isn’t over yet.
