" the normal amount of hot Canadian summer fires,"

There's nothing normal about this. The fires could all be extinguished tonight, and you could have no more for the rest of the season, and you'll still set a record.

The Incredible Size of Canada's Wildfires
by Martin Armstrong,
Jun 27, 2023

Wildfires in Canada continue to rage. Firefighters have extinguished hundreds of fires, while 160 were classified as 'under control' and 75 are 'being held' on Monday. Still though, 259 are 'out of control'. The fires are spread across the country, with the worst affected provinces in terms of area burned being Quebec in the East and Alberta and Saskatchewan in the West.

As this infographic shows, the size of the total area burned in the country so far this year is huge, and far higher than the ten-year average for this stage of the year. The 7.6 million hectares of burned land compare to a recent average of just 484,000 and already represents the worst wildfire season on record - a period which stretches from May to September.

For context, the whole of the Republic of Ireland represents an area of 7 million hectares.
