And here we go.

Dry lightning sparked 80 new fires yesterday across BC, necessitating new evacuations, The most serious is just across the Alberta border in Jasper, at the north end of the Rocky Mountain Highway, where last night with no notice an evacuation order was announced after fires cut off the highways to the east and south. The town and park personnel are currently being evacuated by the southwest through BC on the only remaining road.

Alberta now has more than 130 fires burning, almost a third the number burning in BC. Air quality is suffering across western Canada, with smoke even reaching the coast where I am, making my eyes very sore.

Alas, though it is supposed to be cooler the next few days with perhaps, small amounts of desperately needed rain, but the heat is supposed to return by the end of the week.
