Greek Coast, Northern California. Norway ok or just a drought? Edit: Just read that Norway has 100's of forest fires from lightning strikes.
Been raining for a week here. I don't even think lightning could start a fire.
same here . . .no eclipse, went out cloudy and yellow moon
Pretty thick forest up your way DP?
Carlos, how's Panama's forests?
I scoped satellite pics of Norway this time last year showing how brown it looks compared to '17.
27C in Oslo, 35 in London. Wonder how Geoff and Lars are going with the heat?
It's mid winter and were getting 19C today.
Pretty much.
July was crazy hot, temps close to 100 F and dry, until this last week.
Good the forest floor fuel got damp then. Do they do fuel reduction burn offs up there?

Nope...no need.
Wildfires happen, but rarely.
It's too late.
Sweden too
I feel like I might start growing moss.
Lichen and moss growing some of my favorite roads down here.
Portugal now too.
California looks like its having the equivalent of our Black Saturday fires from 2009 :-\

For what?
to fix this problem. No amount of money that we might throw at fire prevention/mitigation/pre treatment is going to stop what is happening (assuming anyone was willing to spend it) Draught, insect infestation, building in the wrong places. It's too late.
Sure, there might be a reprieve,.........but that will just result in funding/staffing cuts, which will only compound the problem.
It's all going to burn.
