Recent studies have highlighted the multifaceted causes of summer streamflow droughts in Western Canada's Fraser and upper Columbia Basins. These studies examine the drought occurrences in 2023 and 2024, highlighting that they were impacted by diverse combinations of snowpack, temperature, and precipitation extremes. The Fraser Basin experienced a severe streamflow drought in 2023, despite a La Niña state, because of unusually high temperatures in May and June and below-average precipitation. The 2024 drought, which occurred during an El Niño state, was less severe but was preceded by an extreme snow drought. The studies emphasize the limited explanatory power of ENSO variability alone, emphasizing the multivariate nature of streamflow droughts.
