We're actually having a pretty low key fire season this year compared to other parts of the province and, of course, compared to last year. We've only got 3 wildfires of note and only one of them is threatening homes and it's in a remote area not a town.
But it's gotten really smoky in the last week, coming in from the Chilcotin, I think. This morning the air quality risk is at 10, very high, though this is nothing like it was last year before we evacuated.
This means we have to keep the windows closed in the house to keep the smoke out and yesterday was the hottest day I think I've every experienced here, 40C downtown and 38C at our house. Fortunately, a breeze came up last night, clearing the air so we could open the windows before we went to bed.
I thought it was smoky a couple of days ago when I took this
We did get out to the Horsefly River yesterday. It was really smoky in Horsefly when we drove through but it cleared up once we were on the river, and we had a great afternoon on the water. A great way to spend the day on the hottest day of the year. And we saw three otters swimming down the river, a Horsefly River first for us.
