That's the deal with all kinds of weather which many people on this board like. Extreme rain, snow, cold, etc. The problems are not simply relegated to heat related issues.

Re: May 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
Well said typeing. The fear mongering from all the global warming craziness is getting to some people. Is the earth warming? Maybe a little but it’s not affecting the average person at all any different
there were devastating floods for thousands of years and fires and cold and heat and wind we all need to relax a little bit

The heatwave of May 1983 in Western Canada was extreme! Many stations had recorded their highest temperature of all time, for any month.

Re: May 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
Which is why we should appreciate any dry spell we get outside of July and August.

Re: May 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
Problem being, all we've had are dry spells for years now. We need balance/average/normal or whatever you want to call it. Another drought = fires, yellow grass, dying trees. Periods of troughiness with t-storms =
Of course, there is no way were going to agree on this but at least its something weather related to talk about lol.

Re: May 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
--Weak to moderate El Nino conditions are expected in the equatorial Pacific into this summer, and this may have a small role in the weather pattern this summer, especially in the western half of the country.
--Expect an unusually warm and dry summer across western Canada, especially British Columbia through the Yukon Territory. This is likely to lead to an active wildfire season in this region, with a higher probability of large fires that can burn tremendous amounts of land area. Later in the summer, smoke from large wildfires in the north may become a health issue at times across southern British Columbia and southwestern Alberta, this includes places such as Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary.
****In Canada, lightning causes around 50 percent of all wildfires (from National Resources Canada), however, lightning started fires are responsible for 85 percent of all the area that is burned in Canada on average.
--Increased potential for record-challenging heat over portions of British Columbia this summer.
--Currently, significant drought exists in portions of northwestern British Columbia, northern Alberta and from south-central Saskatchewan to south-central Manitoba. Based on our current outlook, I fear that drought conditions may become extreme this summer from central and northern British Columbia, through northern Alberta.
