Here in BC a week of cooler weather and some rain has helped with the wildfires, but only to an extent. There are still 350 wildfires burning across BC, with more than 100 classed as out of control. Fortunately there are very few evacuation orders still in place, but a number of evacuation alerts -- you might have to leave with little notice -- remain in effect. So far this year BC has spent about $480M fighting the fires, not far below last year's record spending at this point in the year.

The big worry is that almost half the province remains in either Level 3 or Level 4 drought stage, so even a week of hot dry weather, particularly if it ends with lightning, would put us right back in the inferno.
