Beautiful

Night shift is awesome in the summer with sunrises like these makes up for the gloomy day's in fall/winter indeed.

Air quality not terrible yet, but definitely hazy and degraded this morning, probably from the Cameron Bluffs Fire that has closed Highway 4 on the Island.

Keep sending us info from the interior sitch. We all appreciate it..especially HawkMan that kinda has dual citizenship

LOL!

As requested, here is something really interesting... Okanagan Lake is peaking A LOT earlier than it used to! The lake level peaked on May 31st this year, which is only the 2nd time in 80 years of data that it has reached the peak in May. The only other year was 2018.

A bit smokey in the Tri Cities this am. Smells like a campfire.

I know its the weeklies but it's still concerning how it is showing a precip deficit for most of Canada. Not a good thing considering the current state of wildfires in the country.

Hoping we see a bit of rain as we head into the 2nd half of the month.

Latest EPS precip.

July is statistically a dry month. Not good if June keeps going like this.

Ya, I was just going to say. Here as well I just noticed it. Definite smell of smoke.
It was ok up until about an hour ago.

The most alarming thing is noticing the total loss of biodiversity along the Coastal Range. Lots of native plant specifies are rapidly dying at the roots. In 4 years, I have also noticed a rapid loss of fertile soils. This region will probably become a semi arid desert in a few decades.

New York right now...

Listen I know people don't like to hear it 24/7 but we are seeing just the start of the effects of climate change.. The damage has been done. This isn't a " in 20 years " it's now and it's here.

People don't understand how climate change effects the jet stream.

Horrific.
