Weather Forecast

SYNOPSIS: The Fire Centre remains under a moist, weakly unstable westerly flow aloft. Below average maximum temperatures and showers are expected in all zones, again, with the heaviest showers expected in the North Island and Mid Coast Alpine areas, and the western facing slopes of the North and Mid Island zones. Showers diminish overnight and then intensify Friday as the last in a series of upper troughs approaches from the west. Showers taper off Friday evening. Fire Centre winds are generally light inflow throughout the period.

OUTLOOK: A ridge expands into the Fire Centre on Saturday for generally drier and warmer conditions. Sunday through Tuesday will be warm and dry across the Fire Centre, except in Haida Gwaii and northern Mid Coast where a series of weak disturbances riding the jet stream will bring a few showers through the period. Wednesday through Friday looks warm and dry over much of the Fire Centre, with only Haida Gwaii and perhaps far northern Mid Coast exposed to a chance of showers.

Borrow Socket Set Urgently Needed ASAP

I am currently working on repairing my outboard engine and I was hoping that one of my fellow island friends could possibly help lend me their socket sets so I can repair my outboard engine for my sailboat. Meet up at pub as I don't have wheels.

Wildfire Preparedness

Wildfire preparedness and response are at their best when we all play our part. The Thetis Island Fire Dept, along with its auxiliaries, are ready to do our part this wildfire season. By completing FireSmart tasks around your property, you’re doing your part to reduce the risks surrounding your home and help strengthen your community’s resilience. Every step, no matter how small, can be the difference when it’s needed most.

While we remain in a Moderate Fire Hazard Rating, now is a good time to trim the long grass throughout your property and mow your lawn to a height of less than 10cm.

Move stored combustibles like firewood, scrap lumber, propane tanks at least 10 metres from your house.

Safely clear debris off your roof and clean out your gutters. Combustible debris such as leaves and branches burn easily when embers come in contact.
