For the first 18 years that I lived in Calgary, every June was rainy. I considered this the one consistent aspect of Calgary weather. So I was surprised when last year’s June turned out to be mostly sunny, warm and dry. Friends who visited from Australia, Britain and Ontario lucked out with their trips through the Rockies.

Despite rain forecast for this weekend, this June is shaping up to be on the dryer side. But who knows when we will once again experience the big one, as portrayed in this week’s Calgary Through the Eyes of Writers?
