B.C. bracing for another heat wave as wildfires, drought continues across the province
Much of British Columbia will experience hotter than usual temperatures next week that could exacerbate already precarious drought and wildfire conditions.
“The days are shorter and the nights are longer in August than they are in June, which will allow for extended nighttime cooling temperatures. Nevertheless, it is critical that people understand the risks,” said Bowinn Ma, Minister of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness, at the conference. The heat event may worsen B.C.’s continuing drought, which has already triggered water restrictions and impacted farming and ranching. More than 80 per cent of the province’s water basins are at either Drought Level 4 or 5, meaning adverse effects to ecosystems are either likely or almost certain to occur.
