Dry and warm this winter here in southern BC likely means continued drought conditions and another terrible year of wildfires in 2027. And that also means smoke for us and the rest of North America, of course.
While astronomical fall starts Tues, wildfire is still an issue after an extended dry period over SW BC. A new #BCwildfire known as the Mount Jack Wildfire, started on Sunday on S Vancouver Island. This evening it is visible from Pt Angeles, WA!
