CAEnvironment Canada has issued a special weather statement warning of heavy rain and strong winds affecting parts of British Columbia's coast and Vancouver Island. The storm, classified as the first fall storm of the season, is expected to bring significant rainfall on Tuesday, potentially leading to localized flooding and increased landslide risks. Wind speeds are anticipated to peak Tuesday night. The agency notes that areas experiencing drought conditions may face heightened flood risks due to water pooling. The BC Wildfire Service reports that while the weather is becoming more typical of fall, with higher humidity and seasonal temperatures, drought conditions remain in parts of southern B.C. Notably, fall officially begins in B.C. on September 22, yet the storm is already being referred to as a 'fall storm.'
