It was a very wet year across most of the prairies, yet the Peace country experienced record dry conditions. This map looks at precipitation levels over a one year period, compared to historical data. The amount of moisture any location in Western (anada receives is variable from year to year. This map takes a snapshot of the data for this year then compares it to all available historical data. The resulting data expresses the frequency of occurrence for a given moisture level in that location.
You can download the map, in PDF format, here.For example, Record Wet means the moisture levels experienced this year have never occurred in the available historical record. Extremely High means the moisture levels this year have occurred in only the top 10% of the historical record (between 90% and 100% of the time). We’ve added all the major highways and some towns to help you locate your farm on the map.
