Rain, rain, come and stay: Recent rainfall brings relief

Recent rainfall across Manitoba has offered some farmers and firefighters temporary relief as the province heads into another warm, dry week.

Rancher Arnthor Jonasson in the Interlake region calls the douse "million-dollar rain.''

Some parts of the province got up to 70 millimetres over 24 hours as of yesterday afternoon, including the City of Brandon area, one of the driest in the country.

The rain has also helped improve the wildfire situation, but crews are still tackling a dozen wildfires in the province's eastern region.
