What's with the smoke?

This SMOKE!!!! Many parts of Canada are dealing with smoky conditions this week.

For us here in the BC Southern Interior, the smoky haze has been hanging over us for several days and it’s all because of a stable weather pattern along with the following…

💨 We’ve had the right wind - a southerly influence - that has been bringing up the smoke from the United States.

☀️ This coupled with warm air aloft and a lack of major weather systems has created a trap for the smoke in our valleys.

🌧 Although we have seen slight improvement the last day or so, we need a weather system that packs a bit of punch for us to see significant improvement. Signs point to this scenario possibly for the weekend. FINGERS CROSSED!!!
