Shelley Ward/submitted

Many areas were doused by rain overnight, and there’s more rain in the forecast this week for southern Manitoba.

Sunday night, southern Manitoba saw showers and thunderstorm activity.

The highest rainfall amounts were around 30mm which were recorded in Sundown and Neepawa by CocoRahs stations.

The highest total recorded in Winnipeg on this site was 14mm which doesn’t sound like a lot but it’s the second highest rainfall total of the summer.

Obviously, it’s been a dry summer. According to Environment and Climate Change Canada, most of southern Manitoba has had between 40-60 per cent of normal rain amounts.
