The heat is coming to BC. An upper ridge will bring 7-10 days of hot dry weather (ECMWF 500 mb height anomaly map below). Forecast for Kamloops below with 6+ days 30C or higher. Fortunately, it does not look like much lightning activity until the ridge breakdown - this is a classic fire situation

Area burned in Canada for 2025 is now at 5.6 M ha exceeding the total for the entire 2024 fire season. This fire season is not as bad as 2023 that had 9.37 M ha burned by July 12, 2023. However, 2025 is a very active year with 365 fires out of control and 2 months still left in the fire season.

Boreal wildfires are, yet again, raging near historical smelting toxic metal pollution sources. The peatlands, forests, and lakes near Flin Flon MB have elevated toxic metals (e.g. Hg, As, Pb) that current wildfires can remobilize to our air, land, and water (similar to tinyurl.com/yv7usr6b). 1/2

It’s likely going to be an active wildfire season in boreal + Arctic North America *and* Eurasia. Normally one or the other. Both Canada & Siberia have early extreme fires & fire activity. Climate change will make this worse. Be prepared with evacuation plans, air purifiers, masks, & go bags.

Much of the smoke from the Manitoba fires has blown across the Hudson Bay and the North Atlantic towards Europe (mparrington.bsky.social has great shares on this). Folks in Great Lakes region of U.S. & Canada could be impacted if winds change. Wildfire smoke is toxic - please mask, stay indoors.
