lol We haven’t had any smoke this year unless you count a little bit we had yesterday and last year wasn’t very smoky either the three before that on the other hand, we’re very smoky

Are you talking about significant smoke waves in your back yard or just in general? This year hasn't been as bad yet *knocks on wood*

Now the Euro is showing dew points around 23C in the Fraser Valley for Thursday night. Remains to be seen if it verifies. But if it does then...

My dew point was 18-19C at that time. It was a muggy evening but the model overdid it.

In relation to pre-2015 this would be considered significant. Of course since then we've had years where we can barely breathe for two weeks which makes this seem tame, but there is clearly and visibly smoke at the upper levels which prior to 2015 was highly rare. Luckily it has not reached the lower levels and hopefully it stays that way.

Dry lightning I'm assuming?

I agree with you.

That may be true, but this weather is garbage.

Lets think positive now Bono...Could be worse..like 3 days of 33-36c and humid, and then repeated shots of similar
Its almost mid August..days are shorter..cool night time temps are on the horizon!

Graphs have been mostly on point..hopefully this one is too. SCORE!

a Soggy second half of August may just force those Chanterelles to pop early

Plenty in the decades prior to the 1970s as well. 1970s-2000s was a relatively quiet period.

Could see both July and August with above average precip in that case.
