RED SMOKY SUNSETS: WHITE ROCK LAKE WILDFIRE. VIEW FROM VERNON, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Channel: COOL BIG RIGS
Date: 2021-08-18

Hundreds of wildfires burn throughout British Columbia, Canada, yearly. 2021 is a devastating wildfires year. Especially affected is B.C.'s Interior -- Monte Lake and the White Rock Lake area. Total devastation. Declining snowpacks in addition to relentless, intense summer heat has fuelled the fire's behaviour. Lightning strikes have caused the majority of fires. Wind fuels the flames. Unfortunately, the fires will burn until the start of winter. 

Temperatures hovered into the mid 40°C's for late June. Record heat. Consecutive 45°C days. Heatwave temperatures ranging from high 30°C to low 40°C continued through July.  There has been no slow down for August.

Fires burn only kilometres outside Vernon's city limits. My heart goes out to all affected by the B.C. wildfires. This video is intended to show the smoky skyline only. Nothing more!

Please feel free to comment on the video.

Thanks for watching.
