Several daily rainfall records were shattered in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley in British Columbia on Friday, with the Vancouver breaking a record set over a century ago.
Environment Canada says about 43.2 millimetres of rain fell on Friday at Vancouver’s airport, up from the previous record for that date of 26.9 millimetres set in 1912.
