In fact I'd be very surprised if it is not. Last winter we got a decent amount of snow in my area. Not this year.
- It's been downright warm and dry for winter. Definitely going to be a hot and dry summer. Can't wait to be unable to breathe outside for months again!
I'm more of a glass-half-full kind of person. I think we should look at it as "Upcoming wildfire season could be best one for the next 50 years".
Will be worse than last year
I think I'll hide on Haida gwaii this summer
Last year wasn't too bad for fires, wouldn't be surprised if this year were worse.
I think this year will be worse than 2016/2017 which were absolutely terrible.
- The 2023 wildfire season had the most area burned in Canada's recorded history, surpassing the 1989, 1995, and 2014 fire seasons,[4][2] as well as in recorded North American history, surpassing the 2020 Western US wildfire season.[5]

  I have no idea what you're talking about.
  
  Eh, guess I'm just thinking about British Columbia. We have bad fire years pretty much every second year but last year was surprisingly pleasant for us. Rest of Canada not so much, despite being pretty much an afterthought for most people almost every other year.
