Wildfire expert Mike Flannigan says this year will be his “litmus test” for whether Canada’s wildfire seasons, already in uncharted territory and fuelled by human-caused climate change, have entered a “new reality.”
We had a cold winter, good snow pack and a wet spring. Should be a low fire season.
At least for the first couple of months.
Hopefully there will be some long, slow soaking type rain events (as opposed to thunderstorms) every few weeks through the summer to keep the forests damp enough to reduce the risk of multiple fires.
