The wildfires continue here in BC. Now listed as the worst year for fires since 1958.
The smoke haze from the interior has reached the coast, producing a blood red sun and sickly yellow atmosphere. The wind has dropped here on the bay too, the overall feeling is rather ominous. On the plus side the fug has lowered the local temperatures by several degrees.

Meeting family here. Booked 3 months ago, expecting milder version of Winter Olympics weather. Horrid shock last week when I saw how hot is.

A ton of thunderstorms in the mountains to the east over the last few days as we've had a load of monsoon moisture in the air. But no rain at all here - I've been watching the thunderheads build every day, and hearing rumbles every now and again, but not a drop falls. It appears that the humidity here is beginning to break today, which is a very nice relief.

When I was younger I didn't really understand all those signs in ditches in the US west warning you about flash floods. But having seen those kinds of rapid storms, and the fact that there's no wet soil to catch the run-off so it just all picks up and flows into a single location, it makes a lot more sense.

I'm trying to keep La Signora occupied, because she wants to be on the phone every few minutes, but realises she'll only stress out her daughter who's trying to keep things together for her kids. She managed to buy two dozen bottles of water this morning, the maximum stores are allowing.
