Canadian Drought - Potential Wildfires
Permalink
HI Emily,
The last graphic shows extensive departures from normal over Central and Eastern Canada. Looking at Environment Canada's Drought monitor those regions are also having drought conditions. Unfortunately, I cannot find last year's precipitation anomalies and drought monitor and to determine their relationship with last year's wild fires. If conditions this year will be similar to conditions last year, I am wondering if a high probability of Eastern Canadian wildfires will exist. I know this out of the realm of the ENSO blog, but it might be a good discussion topic.
