355. Medicine Hat smashes old single day record for rainfall. 2.9 inches

It does not rain here often, so when it does, its a big deal. So the family and I went to find some big puddles to drive though. The only troublesome flooding we found was the big dip on the Trans-Canada highway was not draining fast enough, resulting in single lane closure.

Medicine Hat set a new single day record for rainfall on Tuesday.

Environment Canada reported 73.3 millimetres of rain had been received at the airport as of midnight last night.

The previous single day rainfall record was set in May of 1901, when 40.1 millimetres was received.

Meanwhile, a rainfall warning remains in place into Wednesday.
