Heavy rains sent water pouring through the roof of the concourse underneath the Fairmont Hotel at Portage and Main.

The rain came through the roof around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, knocking out ceiling panels and soaking the carpet.

Drivers also encountered difficult driving conditions due to the sudden downpour.

On Pembina Highway, water covered the road and quickly filled the Jubilee Underpass.

There are reports that as much as 60 mm fell in some parts of Winnipeg, including in the Tuxedo area, Linden Woods and Headingley.
