I’m the middle of summer? No thank you!

The more eastern fire there was discovered today and is already 10000ac. Leave now notice for some 100+ properties in the Big bar lake area.

Some BIG Fires exploding out near the Fraser River to the NW of Clinton, BC

I’m working in Victoria this afternoon and it’s clear blue skies over here.

Was warm earlier in the day here. Hit 75F but cooled off with a few showers and a couple rumbles this afternoon. 0.13” of rain.

Haven’t left the Island in a couple months so it wasn’t me.

Isn’t he just east of Spokane? What are you looking at. Air quality is poor between Spokane and Coeur d’Alene

Just saw one on my driveway. It was hissing at me when I tried to move it. Angry little guy.

The heat in BC is the total opposite. Lytton was 99F with a dew point of 35F. Ashcroft was 99F with a dew point of 32F. Doesn’t t get much drier than that.

WOW. Phil died just reading this!

Oh man. Just when it was finally getting dry enough that even the weeds are starting to die. Around 85F here today.

Looks like a decent bet for some dry lightning over the east side during the next 24-36 hrs. Not a great way to head in to what looks like a fairly lengthy hot and dry period.

I saw a reading of 1020 in upper Michigan.

It’s such a vast area across the north. Including Alaska. Allowing Mother Nature to do her thing for a couple decades might be the most reasonable plan of action. Then perhaps move into better management practices in areas that have burned.

Mother Nature is the main arsonist in Canada. 90% of the area burned is from lightning caused fires in extremely remote areas. They are past the point of being controlled long before fire crews could even get to them.
