No major change in the amount of rain fall in BC.
Pattern has always been dry in the summer due to high pressure ridges off the BC Coast lasting as much as 60 days straight. Then, no rain.
There was lots of snow pack last winter, but the problem is that there is alot of dead wood in BC that was not harvested in the two years after the outbreak. Now is catch up for the fires as these dead standing pine go up like Roman Candles. When the Pine were green, they did not burn near as fast.
The Pine then catches everything else on fire as it burns so hot.
