B.C. drought: Premier worried about summer 2024. The weather that we’re having is so unpredictable and so extreme right now that the economic and human impacts in our province are much more acute, like we’re the early warning sign for the rest of Canada about what’s coming with climate change

1. B.C. could be in for another very dry summer, with the premier expressing concern about what could come.
   David Eby’s concerns come at a critical time, with low snowpack reported on many of the province’s mountains.
   “The weather that we’re having is so unpredictable and so extreme right now that the economic impacts and the human impacts in our province are much more acute, like we’re the early warning sign for the rest of Canada about what’s coming with climate change,” Eby said Thursday.
   B.C.’s snow basins provide crucial water as they melt in the spring.
   Data from the BC River Forecast Centre shows snow basins are lower now than they were the same time last year.
