Environment Canada has lifted the rainfall warning for Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, as of March 23, 2026. The alert was removed after a significant storm system passed through the area, leaving weather conditions calm and sunny.

The storm brought between 80 and 130 millimetres of rain to the community from March 15 to March 20, 2026. This heavy rain, along with melting snow from the mountains, led the BC River Forecast Centre to issue flood watches for the region earlier in the week.

About 85 per cent of the City of Pitt Meadows sits on a floodplain, making it sensitive to rising river levels. While some roads in nearby Maple Ridge were closed due to high water, all local river advisories were fully lifted by March 22, 2026.

According to the latest forecast, Monday will stay clear with a high of 9°C. The Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship reported that river levels have receded, though more rain is expected to arrive on Tuesday, March 24, 2026.
