COASTAL FIRE WEATHER WEEKEND FORECAST

Thurs-Fri: Changes have begun, after a typical wet June, Summer takes over as hot and dry conditions spread throughout the Coastal Fire Centre. A ridge of high pressure offshore will continue to move east into the province bringing dry conditions with some potentially record-breaking temperatures. Overall, we’ll see a typical light to moderate SW inflow on the mainland. This is our first significant hot and dry feature this year and will last into mid next week with the peak being this weekend. Friday, we continue to see the ridge build and bring hotter temperatures and dry conditions. Expect light to moderate SW inflow winds.

Sat-Mon: This period will be the peak for the ridge, with temperatures in the high 20s to mid-30s widespread throughout the Coastal Fire Centre. Crossover conditions expected through many areas. Seeing some lower RH values in those areas we’ve been watching in the Fraser and Pemberton zones as well as to the north in Tweedsmuir Park. Saturday late afternoon and evening a slight surface trough gives us a weak outflow into Sunday morning, overnight recoveries won’t be as strong. Otherwise, winds continue to be light to moderate and generally stay with a SW flow.

You can't have enough info on Wild Bees - Ever!!

Since I started in 'wild bee real estate' a few years ago I add every year a few more bee homes in my garden. Just because it is fun to do. And my garden/flower - vegetable pollination is getting better by the year. The last 'residents' which moved into my bee homes - besides all different kind of mason bees - were Leaf cutter bees.

Don't waste your time with industrial honey bees - wild bees are way more efficient with pollinating AND they don't sting!!

Here a link I found from SFU which I believe has a nice overview about our wild bees.

The Fire Hazard is moving up to 4, or HIGH HAZARD, on Saturday. Work in or near the woods that can produce sparks from exhaust or striking rocks (excavating, mowing, milling etc.) must cease by 1 pm and a 2-hour fire watch posted (stay on site to look for smoke). Have water and a tool on site.

Campfires with permits are still allowed, but we urge you to use your propane campfire appliance (does not require a permit) instead if available.

Environment Canada Weather Message

Weather Pattern: The first province-wide heat will begin Friday over the coast and spread across the interior this weekend as a ridge of high pressure settles over the province. This multi-day event may continue into mid-late next week. However, the exact duration of this event remains uncertain and may lengthen/shorten. In the event that the warming extends past the forecast period, listed impacts may increase from a prolonged period of above-seasonal temperatures.

• Forecast Temperatures: Coast: 25-30⁰C (Coastal inland sections: Up to 32 ⁰C). Communities nearest the Strait of Georgia may see some reprieve from the heat due to the cooling effects of a sea breeze (local wind).
