From the boreal forests of Ontario to the moors of the Scottish Highlands to the grasslands & forests of Columbia River Plateau in NW U.S. to the maritime pine forests in France, these exceptional fires have been preceded, over weeks to months, by exceptional warmth and dryness.

@weatherwest@mastodon.social When Ireland, one of the greenest (wettest) countries, with one of the most temperate climates -- with natural air conditioning -- has had fires and the fields are golden, like California.. you have to wonder what the future holds.
