Here is how much rain fell in Manitoba over the weekend
As thunderstorms touched down in Manitoba over the weekend, a number of communities were hit with more than 50 millimetres (mm) of rain.
On Monday morning, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) said the province saw a wide range of rainfall totals over the weekend, with some areas getting only a few millimetres and other areas getting 61 mm.
The weather agency explained that this is because thunderstorms are small and spotty, and may produce varying amounts of rain within the same region.
One area that got more than a little bit of rain over the last 96 hours was Herman Lake, which got 61.48 mm.
Other areas that received heavy rainfall over the last few days were Teulon, which got 57.1 mm, and Russell, which got 56.2 mm.
