For the third time this year the water levels for Lake Huron broke a monthly record.
While the water levels as a whole aren’t near the record setting year of 1986, the levels in the months of May, June, and now July hadn’t been seen in those months before.
Regulations Coordinator at the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority Daniel King says this trend solidifies their concerns about erosion and the message they’ve been relaying for years.
It looks like July will be the peak water levels of 2020, according to the forecast for the remainder of the year by Climate Change Canada.
King said he’s not dismissing the high levels, but it’s not adding any more concern which already exists around people’s properties and the natural system than in previous years.
