Today’s Weather Trivia:
17 July 1903: Torrents of rain fell across Yukon, swelling several rivers, including the Caribou, Bonanza, Eldorado, and Hunker. Miners were devoutly gleeful at being assured of a couple of days' sluicing. In many settlements, the deluge was effective in holding down the dust and giving gardens and lawns a freshness that was difficult to appreciate. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
