The US state of California has been hit by a final round of storms, bringing more rain and snow to a state already dealing with the effects of destructive flooding and at least 19 deaths.
California has been battered by storms in recent weeks, flooding communities and forcing evacuations. The scale of the damage is still not fully clear.
Approximately 25 million people in California were under flood watch at the weekend.
The Sacramento office of the National Weather Service (NWS) said that “periods of moderate to heavy snow will continue into Monday”.
One to three feet of new snow fell in parts of California’s Sierra Nevada range over the weekend, leaving 11,000 homes in the state without power on Sunday, according to a report by the BBC.
US President Joe Biden declared a major disaster in California – the country’s most populous state – on Saturday night.
But there is hope on the horizon, with the NWS saying that drier weather should arrive on Tuesday.
