BC In Line For Heavy Rain And Strong Wind From Remnants Of Hurricane Oho

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 09 Oct, 2015 02:01 PM
    VANCOUVER — Environment Canada has posted rain and wind warnings for parts of coastal British Columbia due to the remnants of hurricane Oho.
     
    The agency says between 50 and 70 millimetres of rain was expected to fall by Friday evening along inland sections of the north coast and Haida Gwaii, with the heaviest rainfall expected in the morning.
     
    In addition to the heavy rain, Environment Canada says southeasterly winds of 90 to 110 kilometres per hour would develop over north Vancouver Island, some coastal areas and Haida Gwaii overnight before abating late Friday morning.
     
     
    The hurricane remnants are also expected to bring heavy rains and gusty winds to parts of southeast Alaska on Friday.
     
    Oho was among a record number of tropical cyclones in the central Pacific so far this year, which officials attributed to unusually warm ocean temperatures from El Nino.
     
    The hurricane season runs through November.
