Good...its way too hot...

Only problem is that with the heat so high the rain may just add humidity to the area which is even worse...

Higher humidity is a good thing though! The scale works backwards, low = less moisture in the air, high = more moisture in the air. Fire burns more aggressively with less moisture.

Big dark clouds with lightning south of Penticton.

Www.weather.ca shows plenty of moisture heading from the coast , but it seems to fizzle out for the most part by the time it hits Kelowna. Maybe later on this evening !

Maybe its time that the Kamloops Fire Centre banned campfires? The Coastal Centre already has and we are usually drier than them. I know most of the Southern fires have been sparked by Lightning but near Kelowna/Winfield areas there is talk that they were human caused.

I know that folks like to have campfires when out camping but we can't afford a repeat of some of the worst fire years of past.

Oh thank goodness, I don't think I've ever been so relieved to see a weather forecast before.
