A flood advisory has been lifted for southern British Columbia after several days of heavy rain, as conditions begin to stabilize across the region.
The BC River Forecast Center confirmed that all high stream flow advisories have been canceled after several days of atmospheric river flooding brought significant rainfall to parts of the province.
In an update issued on Sunday, the Center said the water level is now receding after rising due to rain and snow melting.
Some major rivers and lake aqueduct systems remain high, but officials expect flows to continue to decline through the week.
The center said mid-week rainfall may cause minor and temporary flooding of small waterways.
According to earlier forecasts, the recent weather system caused 40 to 300 mm of rain on the south coast.
Environment Canada data shows 151 millimeters of rain was recorded in Coquitlam between Wednesday and Friday alone.
Heavy rains also caused landslides north of Coquitlam, requiring the evacuation of eight residents by helicopter. Cleanup efforts are ongoing.
The improvement in weather in Nanaimo and surrounding areas has led to drought conditions, although officials continue to monitor river levels and recommend caution near waterways.
