Weather where you are?

Weather here on the North Shore of Lake Huron is getting rather Hot, Muggy and Uncomfortable. 18c at night and up to 35c at noon = Perfect Motorcycle Weather when dodging Cloud Bursts - Very topical weather for the North Shore - A little Hotter then average for mid July ;o)

PS: A lot of Forest Fire smoke from Out West and Up North drifting this way ;o(
Not from Back East or Down South ;o)

Dramatic drop in the number of Motorcyclist on the North Shore t;his year !

Around +26...+27 degrees Celcius here at Southern Finland. Nights on both sides of +20 Celsius. No much rain, but some very local storms during this week. The weather forecast promises some rainy days next week.

Southwest British Columbia, full summer now, with our desert interior playing around with 39-41C day time, down to 22c at night. BIG issues with forest fires,,,,still 85% human caused either climate screamers doing arson, or idiots camping.

My own term. Persons within the climate change bandwagon, purposely setting fire to forests and then yelling that climate change is causing the fires. And within the northern First Nations areas, residents who have to temporarily relocate towns from encroaching fires are paid handsome supplements to their regular welfare supplement income.

Nothing in that news report about climate activism. As for controlled burns getting out of control (which these were purported to be) several bushfires in Australia have been started due to the authorities conducting controlled burns that got out of control.

During the catastrophic 2019 bushfires in Australia there were accusations about this sort of stuff aired on social media that were categorically proven to be totally untrue.

Anyways ... best to keep such conversations out of our little moto forum ...
 
We used to have Volunteer Firefighters years ago, who would light fires for the thrill; however, they do extensive testing these days, so that's less likely to happen.

Pricks… it’s hard to remain PC over such matters, we have rip off segments touching up welfare within in the Australian society, as you do.

Frankly, if I, or anyone, calls it out publicly for what it is, we are being racist, narrow minded, or the like.

All I can express is: Fucken Pricks.
 
In California there are a few cases every year of arsonists starting brushfires. But so far they haven’t been eco-warriors, climate activists or any other sort of political. It’s always someone with mental health issues of one sort or the other.

Sorta,,,,, the same though,,
 
Anyways, lovely day here in Vancouver, right on the coast, 23-25c and blue sky, perfect for riding bikes!
And only one human caused fire yesterday, 65 miles east of downtown, along the eastern shores of Harrison Lake, Jim Henderson’s former home actually! And it’s considered out of control, expected to spread despite firefighters efforts.
 
All of our Canadian Forests are on fire right now - Aside from the air quality affecting southern cities northern communities are being evacuated - What's happening to our wild life ;o(

Alzero : BIG difference between what Americans call a Wild Fire or a Brush Fire compared to a Canadian Forest Fire ;o(

We have forest fires too. Not much difference between the forests in Washington and Idaho and those in BC. Even California has a lot of forest high up in the mountains. The current big blaze there is burning in mixed forest and brushy hills.
 
Canada’s boreal forest comprises almost 60% of the entire country, and is 1/3 of that forest of the earth. Almost all of it is uninhabited, most all of the fires in it are 100’s of miles from the nearest road. They cannot be ‘fought’ by firefighters, and the forest cannot be ‘future managed’ in any way to reduce the incredible combustible capability of that type of forest. Fires continue to burn underground for years, even thru the 8 month winters at -45c. It’s been this way for a millennial. Most of these fires way up north are dry lightning caused, except for 6 or 7 that were human caused early in the season, right near local towns, before the seasonal dry lightning time.
The 2 main “fires of note” currently in British Columbia are of course human caused. Another One now appears to be settling down, was started by a local police detachment trailer throwing sparks off a rim skidding on the road.
We are about to get a decent couple days of rain here before summer returns.
