This time last year we were in the throes of that horrible heat dome. Remember that? Remember how freaking terrible that was? Thankfully this summer (at least so far) has been much, much milder and way rainier. Hopefully that will help with the fire season later on in July and August. Hopefully BC won’t be one big blaze. Hopefully things will be relatively cool even in the later months of the season.

But I’m sure summers like last year will become more and more common…and that’s terrifying.
