Climate geoscientist Joseph Shea didn't have to go far to find evidence of what he calls 'exceptional' hot and dry weather in British Columbia this year. He says he was still gathering raspberries in his garden in Prince George in central B.C.
Climate geoscientist Joseph Shea didn't have to go far to find evidence of what he calls"exceptional" hot and dry weather in British Columbia this year.
Shea, an associate professor with the Department of Geography at the University of Northern British Columbia, said the drought in central a northeast B.C. is a “pretty critical situation.” The BC Wildfire Service says about 280 active wildfires are still burning across the province. Karley Desrosiers, an information officer with the service said the extended drought would probably see some large fires smoulder underground until more rain eventually puts them out.
“As the province receives more rain, and eventually snow, the remaining wildfires on the map will be removed,” said Desrosiers.
