Rainy Edmonton Headlines

Just another rainy day in Edmonton…

Who do we have to call around here to turn off the taps?

Alright, we get plenty of sunshine, and it tends to rain later in the day, or at night, but it doesn’t just seem like it’s raining more this month.

It really is raining more this July.

As if the long winters weren’t enough to make us wring out every last drop of hot, sunny weather we can get.
