I was looking at some of the hydrometric data for streams around BC and there are a couple around Abbotsford that are at historic highs and still climbing. Even though it is sunny today, there is going to be some lag in the watershed.

I don't know if climate change is the issue, but I suspect it plays a role. I think the bigger issue is the increase area of impermeable surfaces in the LML and Fraser Valley. There has been so much development in the past 15 years and I don't think the terrain can handle it any more.
