Extraordinary in Canada,something hardly ever seen anywhere in the world: Arviat,NU rose to an incredible 21.2C, +7C above the previous May record and 17C above the April record! Lupin 20.0C also destroyed the May record. Further South 34C at Lytton but that's just starting....

Excited to share our new paper: "The effectiveness of filter material for respiratory protection worn by wildland firefighters." We study different mask materials and, unsurprisingly, find N95 or better materials are needed for filtration doi.org/10.1016/j.fire

Lots of active fires today- NERN BC, NRN AB, SK and even NWT. Some pyrocu/tcu. GOES 18 Geocolor smoke is grey and mid-ir image (bright white active fires). Expect fire activity to increase over the next few days.

Remarkable!! All areas in magenta indicate a record breaking mid-upper level (500mb) ridge by the weekend. This is an immense heat dome maxing out at 4.2 standard deviations (sigma) from the mean. A ridge magnitude on par with June 2021🧵
