Yep, heavy T-Storm activity yesterday created quite a few hot spots, especially in Trinity and the Siskyious.
We are expecting more storms today - it would be nice if the lightning stayed cloud-to-cloud or the storms decided to bless us with hail and/or rain, for a change.

Months later, still waiting for smoke to clear. Possibly from the Great Beaver Lake fire to the south; 14,700ha or Ocock Lake fire, also to the south; 1017ha. Both fires started in July

Sadly the fires rage on with big burns now up north in the Norther Territory and here we are only just coming into spring. It's frightening.

It is for those in the north but our fire season is totally different to the southern fire season.
Our fire season ends when the rains come, around Xmas usually, yours is normally only a few weeks old at that time.

For the first time in a great while, California has not had a major fire.
I don't want to jinx it by saying so, but it's been a good summer, so far.
Of course, we have about two months to go, but so far, so good.

Skies have been beautifully clear here since a couple of days after Labour Day when the Air Quality Health Index exceeded 10 on a scale of 10 (10 being really bad). Calgary set a new record for smoke this summer with over 499 hours, and still counting, which is still less than where Geo lives.

I lived in Calgary back in the dim dark ages (late 60's) when the local paper included a certificate that read something like I lived in Calgary when the temperature never got above 0F for forty days straight.
Those were definitely the good old days

Air scrubbers must be flying out the doors. Back burning smoke here at Botany Bay has turned daylight red. Choking on smoke.

Was thinking of you, our next door neighbors are up by the harbor having a few days sightseeing.

It can't be that bad, we can't smell the smoke in New Zealand yet.
