British Columbia, the “wet” coast, ravaged by drought

By this time of year, the so-called “wet coast” of Canada should be blustery, cold and drenched.Vancouver should be living up to its reputation as “Raincouver.” Fall colours, along with the downpours, should be in full swing.

But coastal British Columbia has not had significant rain since July. The leaves on the trees are yellow and orange – and hanging on by a thread because they’re completely dried out. It’s a tinderbox.

Weather experts are stunned by the abnormally hot and dry conditions.
As David Akin reports, much of the province is facing serious drought conditions that are disrupting its fishery and agricultural activities.
