This kind of warm September weather is expected for the rest of the month.
Neal McLoughlin, superintendent of predictive services with the BC Wildfire Service explained earlier this week that because “our Pacific Ocean temperatures remain three to five degrees Celsius above normal” it can translate into warmer than normal temperatures through September for most of the province.
He noted Environment and Climate Change Canada has expressed concern for fall weather patterns that bring strong winds, which have so far been limited and been a key part of keeping BC fire sizes smaller this year.
So far this wildfire season, BC has experienced one of the lowest human-caused wildfire seasons since 1950.
The province said it’s thankful for British Columbians’ vigilance this fire season and is encouraging folks to keep up the great work through the month of September.
