Hmm, I wonder how often you get the purple in 500mb height anomaly. Not a climate person, only a dabbler in weather. That seems bad. 🤷

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸Let's talk about what is “unprecedented”.
Coastal Fire Centre:
"I don't think I've seen a fire like this on Vancouver Island," Caranci said.”
Comment:
In 2015 after the major (18 month) drought and 2014/15 Pacific “blob” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blob_(Pacific_Ocean)) and subsequent massive 2015 BC fire season, there was a fire in Squamish (on the mainland) which is in the Coastal Fire Centre.
I was City councillor in Port Alberni at the time and at that year's UBCM conference for all municipal officials in the fall, after the fire season, we received a presentation from BC Wildfire on a Squamish "Elaho” fire. (2015 not 2024). It was over 15,000 hectares before it was finally contained.

The same words were used “Explosive Growth”.
According to the BC Wildfire service at that time, it was the first time they had seen Rank 4 and Rank 5 fire behaviour anywhere in the Coastal Fire Centre. It was unprecedented.
This was the 'new normal' of human-caused climate change.
Only the drought conditions and extreme heat could have caused the temperate rain forests of Coastal BC to exhibit this behaviour.
Now this ‘unprecedented' behaviour is in the temperate coastal rain forests of Vancouver Island. This is, and was, predictable.
This is climate change. The “new normal” is Change.
It is getting worse because *our* CO2/GHG emissions continue to rise.
The only way to stop this changing normal is to end the use of fossil fuels and stop the emissions of greenhouse gases immediately.
