Sp3nny Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Weather has turned apocalyptic again here in the interior. I'm sure many have seen it in the news as well, but here is pics from my deck. These are 20 mins apart to show how fast its moving/changing. These were taken at 5:30 and 5:50 PM.

Provost Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 It is honestly really getting tough up here. We might pull the plug and go down to the coast for a week (if any routes open up again). The smoke effects are really starting to take their toll on health. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU SERIOUS Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Although this years fire season is particularly bad in the Smokenagen, it is normal to get smoked out there every summer for at least several weeks, although in the past 10 years the fires have been affecting them for much longer periods and more intensly. Personally, i would never live in place like Kelowna where your essentially cut off from civilization during the winter in a claustrophobic narrow mountain valley with little work opportunity and few things to do, followed by 5 months being over-run by drunken Albertan party Animals in the stifling, oppressive heat and toxic smoke that will surely shorten your life . Totally overated place ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally overated place ! I could say something negative about every place in the country. The trick is to say something positive during a difficult time particularly when people's homes are at risk.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Special air quality statement for Metro Vancouver: Special air quality statement in effect for: Metro Vancouver - NE Metro Vancouver - NW Metro Vancouver - SE Metro Vancouver - SW Smoke is causing poor air quality and reducing visibility. Smoke is expected or occurring. Metro Vancouver is now issuing an Air Quality Advisory for Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley because of high concentrations of fine particulate matter that are expected to persist through the weekend. Elevated levels of fine particulate matter are due to smoke from both wildfires burning in BC and the US and a fire burning in Vancouver at a wood recycling facility. Wildfires burning southeast of Chilliwack and Hope, including two fires near Manning Park (Heather Lake) and Hope (Flood Falls Trail), are producing smoke that is impacting the region. Today and tomorrow, additional smoke is expected to arrive from the south, further degrading air quality. Additionally, a local fire burning in Vancouver at a wood recycling facility is also producing considerable smoke which is trapped near the surface by an inversion. Smoke from the fire is impacting multiple municipalities including Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, New Westminster, Surrey, and Coquitlam. Smoke concentrations may vary widely across the region as winds and temperatures change, and as wildfire behaviour changes. If you or those in your care are exposed to wildfire smoke, consider taking extra precautions to reduce your exposure. Wildfire smoke is a constantly-changing mixture of particles and gases which includes many chemicals that can harm your health. For more details, please consult www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/air-quality-health-index/wildfire-smoke.html. For more information on current air quality, visit www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/environment/air-land-water/air. Visit www.airhealth.ca for information on how to reduce your health risk and your personal contribution to pollution levels, as well as for current and forecast AQHI values. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. Issued by Environment Canada and the B.C.
