Residents in Burlington, Ontario should prepare for heavy rain and potential flooding starting the night of Tuesday, March 10, 2026, and continuing through Wednesday, March 11, 2026. Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement forecasting 20 to 40 mm of rain, with even higher amounts possible if thunderstorms hit the area.
The risk of flash flooding and water pooling on local roads is higher than usual because the ground is currently frozen or soaked with water. Since the earth cannot absorb the rain effectively, water is expected to collect quickly in low-lying areas and on streets.
The City of Burlington and Conservation Halton are monitoring the weather as it develops. Officials are asking residents to be cautious and to look out for further alerts or warnings as the rain continues.
Drivers should be ready for difficult travel conditions and potential delays caused by water on the roadways. The rain is expected to last throughout the day on Wednesday.
