British Columbians have been asked to take shorter showers and find other ways to conserve water as officials monitor worsening drought conditions in the province.
Coastal BC here - we get light to heavy rain for 6 months of the year now, then it dries up completely. If there isn’t enough snow in the mountains, the stream on our property runs dry.
We’ve been here a decade, and the time the stream runs dry has gone from late August to early June (last year was an exception and it ran until July). We’re expecting one of the ponds to go entirely dry this year.

Technically, we live in a rainforest.
Damn that’s crazy, and sad.
