This king tide was tame.
After much concern over what a king tide would bring to B.C., it seems the cycle was quite tame and left things practically untouched.
The king tide, which was predicted to start on Jan. 21 and last until Jan. 26, did not bring strong winds and waves. Armel explains how they can be mapped out through "celestial bodies because it's the moon and the sun that are really dictating the tidal cycle on Earth.”"But the storm surge, which is a result of having usually a strong king tide cycle, is dependent on the waves, the wind and the pressure as well. So we don't have a low-pressure system nearby. We actually have a building ridge, kind of capping all that moisture below it,” says the meteorologist.
